"Prominent Ovaries"

[beterraba]

Since my gyno continues to tell me my gas, bloating, constant BMs and lower left-sided pelvic pain is NOT related to my ovarian cysts, she sent me to a gastroenterologist.  I had a CT scan yesterday that only showed my IUD and "bilateral prominent ovaries".  I briefly spoke with the GI doctor who said this could be due to my menstrual cycle.  Since having the IUD, I have not had a period now in over a year.  And he did say "prominent" meant "enlarged".  So.....

Is there no solution?  Any ideas?  I hope I can talk to him in the next few days for directions.  I'm just upset there wasn't something obvious, so I could finally have relief.

Thanks

Bilateral prominent ovaries

I just spoke with the GI doctor, he would like to treat me as if I have IBS for a week or so, to see how that helps.  My intestines were full of stool on the scan, which I guess is fairly common, and my ovaries were enlarged with possible cysts.  The IUD looks to be in place.  He thinks the next step would be to go back to the gynecologist if treating the "IBS" doesn't help.  

Why would I have enlarged ovaries?  With the Mirena IUD I have not had a period in over a year.

Get thee to another gyno for a 2nd opinion.  Every woman on here can tell you that those symptoms can definitely be due to ovarian cysts.  The enlargement could be due to an internal cyst or another issue.  Take a look at the health pages and you can see the lists of symptoms.  Good luck.  Please keep us updated and a pox on your gyno.
