You are spot on!
I actually went to see my original doctor on 7/20 and she found and showed me my ovaries. She also explained about how they do get smaller (and they were) with time and why. She also asked questions, listened to mine and was able to explain that because I have diverticulosis the pain may be radiating from there, from a pinched nerve in my lower back or adhesions.
I still have some pain but I feel more at ease because I can better understand why.
Again I will say"026this getting older business never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you.

I always ask for copies of all my medical tests so I have the report from 2 yrs ago when I had an adnexal cyst in my right ovary. I know my ovaries were not removed.
My cervix was removed at the time of the hysterectomy. When I brought up the issue of, no-cervix, the doctor told me that even after a hysterectomy a woman should get a PAP smear every 3-5 years.
As of yet, I the pain continues and I am still taking the "just in case" antibiotics.
I'll never see this doctor again. I'm going to go to where my original doctor moved to and get a second opinion fro her. At the same time I'll go over my other concerns.
Although I know that there are worse things than this happening to women, I feel that ALL women deserve to have their concerns listened to with compassion and respect.
