Pain after the removal of a dermoid cyst.
Hi,
I had a large ovarian dermoid cyst removed through laparotomy 3 weeks ago and the pain had got a lot more bearable, but 5 days ago it really stepped up and at times I have stabbing pains and feel like im being pulled and pinched inside, also a squeezing pain as if in my bladder.
Is this OK thinking of going to see the doctor?
please advise Im really worried, things dont feel right.

I am 16 years old and have been suffering from severe pelvic pain for 2 years now...It started in August of 2007 I was developing ovarian cyst every month during my menstrual cycle and it is always only on my right side.They would develop then rupture on there own (very painful). My Dr then put me on the pill to stop ovulation it didn't work. I have tried several different birth control pills including the depo shot so far nothing has worked. The pain at first was only coming once a month for the first 2 to 3 months, after that it's all month long.
I have had 2 laporscopic surgerys with in 7 months of last year. The results of the first sugery they found a cyst 4cm growing off my ovary to the webbing of my fallopian tubes and Dr surgically removed it. The result of the 2nd surgery a band of scar tissue was squeezing my ovary the Dr cut the band and also had my appendix removed as well. Since both surgerys my sypmtoms have not changed which are and have been since the pain first started.
My sypmtoms are: severe pain on right side that travels to my lower back, severe swelling and bloating, nausea, fatigue,loss of appetite, stabbing throbbing dull achey pain, hurts when up for a long period of time, can't walk, very very tender to touch, pain is always there. Fluctuates from a pain level 5 to 10. Starts as a 5 and in a couple of days the pain becomes a 10. Last for a few more days as a 10, then becomes tolerable again. Have seen about three doctors and have gotten no results. If anyone has experienced these symptoms or may know of a Dr or if you are a Dr who could help please reply. This has consumed my life for way to long I was missing so much school and falling behind in my classes I had to be home schooled. I have no social life and am miserable everyday I pray every night for an answer. I plead for anyone or Dr to please help or advise with any answers. I don't want to be in pain any longer...
If u wish to reply please do so to my mother's email

Hi!
I would suggest that you go and get checked. The two most common things I see after surgery that cause increased pain are:
1) constipation--which is easily corrected by stool softeners and/or one or two days use of a laxative such as Senekot or Pericolace.
2)bladder infection--symptoms of this are unusual following surgery, and can cause "funny" pain--so get your urine checked.
You should probably have you incision checked too. If all this turns out OK it could just be that you are healing, and scar tissue is forming, but go get checked out to be sure its not serious.
Good luck

A related discussion, having bleeding problems after hystorectomy 4 months ago was started.
I had my right ovary removed due to a large dermoid cyst in August of 2007. Just ecently I started having pain again in the same area as I did when they discovered the cyst. I've been concerned about this since it has been so long since my surgery.
