Postmenopausal Ovary Removal-Long Term
Everything I see addresses symptoms in premenopausal women. Are there any side effects, etc., long term in women who are postmenopausal? Had my ovaries out a week ago. Feel good but just wondering about what others have felt further on. Thanks
Mine were removed 1 year ago PM and I continue to feel better without them. There is supposedly an increased risk for cardiovascular and osteoporosis issues with no ovaries or estrogen but I do not know for sure. I consider my health vastly improved post-op.
I just realized I posted my question in the Ovarian Cancer forum! Oh, oh...but I feel it's a good place to start. I have a 4cm functional cyst on my right ovary. Since last November I have not been well. I believe I ate something that caused an annal fissure. SInce then, I have had my period every 2 weeks, which led me to the ER in extreme pain. A CT scan
showed this cyst and a hepatic hemangioma(that's a group of veins on my liver). That is benign, so they say.
I also since Nov. have had sinusitis, which didn't respond to the first round of anti-biotics.
Then the belly pain happened Jan 3, and now it is Jan 21st and I am still bleeding! My Dr. prescribed a hormone to stop this bleeding but it can takeup to 8 days days to kick in.
I am a 52 who was healthy up until the anal fissure. If you know how long the back pain will continue (This is from a recently diagnosed UTI), do functional cyst cause chronic pain...if so how long will this last? I believe most of the pain was from the cyst, but I didn't expect the UTI either!
Heavens, any suggestions or information you have would be appreciated.
Hopefully this will all resolve...at least I'm optimistic!

I'm post menopausal, had my left ovary, tube and cyst removed almost 2 years ago. Wow, time flies. Can't think of anything different. I had some spotting after the surgery which was unwelcome. I was so happy to be PM, didn't want to return to the panty liners again. That cleared up. Just the usual healing process. Occasionally I still get a little twinge or tug on my left side if I move just right. Maybe a few adhesions; I don't know.
