Hello,

Thanks for your response. The Dr the wants me to do a Colonoscopy. Which has me even more worried now. She said after the scope if I'm still having problems we could do a CT or exploratory surgery because when I had my hysterectomy in 04 the Dr who did it had noted a lot of adhesion's and it took 2 hrs. I also had a benign tumor on left ovary (leiomyoma ) . She said it's possible they are pulling down the bowel, Last Feb everything in the pelvic area was just fine. They did a vaginal ultrasound that's what showed the bowel in the way. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'll post again after I find out something.

HI,
This only means that a proper ultrasonic visualization was not possible because of presence of bowel near the ovary. The Doctor may call you for a repeat scan and a trans-vaginal scan will give a better visualization of the right ovary. It is also necessary to rule out the possibility of intra-abdominal adhesions.
