Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Worst since Hysterectomy weird pain

Lt Dan Fan,

Yes, I have had and still have this sort of pain. I'm not exactly sure from your post - did the gyn order an ultrasound? You should get one. Ovaries don't normally hurt, but when influenced by hormones that are out of balance they sure can. Ovaries can swell up and also produce cysts. Both of these things can cause IBS pain to worsen because the bowel touches the part of the ovary that is tender and a bm can obviously cause this to feel even more painful. I have had both of my ovaries enlarge and form cysts. I lost my left ovary 8 years ago when it grew so big that it fell to the pelvic floor (called a torsion). My right ovary continues to cause me pain on a monthly basis around ovulation.

I am not a doctor, but I am wondering if your recent surgery has cause hormones to be "off" enough that your ovaries are enlarging or producing cysts. If your current gyn won't listen, please seek another opinion because I would hate for you to go through a torsion. Words cannot describe how horrible that was. I did almost die. I was so sick and my gyn blew it off too. I ended up in an ER on a Sunday morning. I picked another doctor real quick and had surgery about 1 hour later.

Please see a doctor ASAP and post follow up.

Laura
