Please elaborate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

I will be able to comment better if you can provide me with information like-

--your gynecological history including the indication for the surgery

--when was the surgery performed, what was the intra and postoperative experience

--what was the biopsy report

--any other significant findings that I should know.

As of now, I can say the possibilities are

1. a twisted ovarian cyst or ovary with or without hemorrhage

2. adhesions

3. prolapse of the ovary into the pouch of XXXXXXX with or without accumulated fluid

4. other causes of acute pelvic pain like infections, stones etc.

I would suggest you to go to the emergency room for immediate medical attention in view of the severity of the symptoms and the operative history. Analgesic and anti-spasmodic may give transient relief, but the causative factor should be isolated and attended to.

Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.

I do not know what "what was the intra and postoperative experience" means. I had my fallopian tube removed due to pre cancerous tissue also extensive scar tissue on right ovary. The surgery was done 3 years ago. The biopsy was irregular. Pre cancerous tissue is all that I was told.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

'Intra' means during and 'Post' means after. I was asking about any significant events that happened during surgery and afterward during the healing period.

If there was no proper report on the operative findings, it is essential that you have a proper clinical evaluation now to see if any recurrence has occurred.

Temporary relief can be had from analgesic and anti-spasmodic medication. You should see a specialist at the earliest possible.

Ectopic pregnancy is another possibility, but rare.

Hope I have clarified your query. please contact if you need any more help. I will be glad to do so.

regards,
Shanti.V.
