Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Post menopausal problem for a female are most likely bony or muscular in origin.

I would like to know some more information about your condition to understand your problem better and advice you specifically.

Is the pain in the lower abdomen or thigh proper ?
Did you have any sort of trauma to the affected area ?
Is the pain intermittent, does it follow any pattern ?
Does pain come at specific time of the day ?
When and why was the right ovary removed?
Have you tried any medication for the pain, did you find any relief?

Waiting for the response,

pain is in my lower abdomen; no trauma; pain is intermittent, no specific time; my right ovary was removed in 1999 because of a large mass attached to it. I take Tylenol for pain. I also have lower back pain, especially in the morning. And I have to pee at least fifteen times a day, with sudden urgency. I pee a normal amount each time and my pee is usually light yellow.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Based on the description provided I suspect either of two possibilities to be the cause for your problem.

Since you have pain abdomen associated with increased urination one of the possibility could be cystitis (urinary bladder infection). The other possibility could be adhesions formed due to surgery involving removal of the ovary.

I suggest you to get the tests like Urine microscopy and an Ultrasound scan of abdomen pelvis.These tests will identify the exact cause of your problem and help to formulate a specific management.Do discuss about the same with your treating doctor.

Hope I answered your query.Please do ask doubts, if any.
