What Causes Right-sided Pelvic Pain After A Hysterectomy?
I had a TVH 5 weeks ago. I am experiencing pain on my lower right pelvic area. I went to the Er 2 days ago and they did a CT scan and I have pockets of fluid from the hysterectomy. I am in worse pain today and I don t know what to do. I had a cyst on my ovary 2 weeks ago as well. I m in so much pain and I feel like my Dr just blows me off.

Hi,
There are a lot of different types of ovarian cysts. The most common are the physiologic types (meaning they do not need to be treated surgically and are part of common physiology). These physiologic/benign cysts that do not require immediate intervention may also present with pelvic pain. Ovarian physiologic cysts or neoplasms are typically associated with a dull, achy pain that is usually localized to the side of the mass. They may also present with vaginal bleeding, but since you have had a TVH, there is nowhere the bleeding can go, and any vaginal bleeding would be due to the procedure itself and not the ovarian cyst.
If it continues to give you pain, I would suggest going back to your OB/GYN (or a different one if you find that the one you see is not giving you the explanations that are satisfactory). Get the cyst reevaluated to see if it's growing and if any surgical intervention is necessary
