26 And Scheduled For Surgery Posted: 11-22-05 11:19am
I am 26 years old, married, and have 2
children. I have been having pain around
my left ovary for a couple of years. The
pain started interfering with our sex life
because it felt as if he were stabbing my
insides sending sharp pains. Even after
sex I would cramp, feel like my hip bones
were grinding together, and have back
pains for a day or two. My doctor
removed my iud to see if that would ease
any pain. It didn't help. I had an
ultra sound and it revealed a varicose
vein wrapped around my left ovary which
also had a cyst on it. She put me on the
nuva ring for the hormones to shrink the
cyst, which worked, but I had to stop
using it because it was causing me to have
2 to 3 headaches per week.
For the past 2 months my periods have been
irregular and I constantly feel like I am
pmsing. My husband had a vasectomy so I
wouldn't have to mess with any birth
control methods. My doctor told me not
to have sex at all for about six weeks to
see if the pain would go away. It
didn't!! We did another ultrasound and
the nurse called and referred to the
varicose vein now as a large blood vessel
and said that my doctor recommends having
a vaginal hysterectomy to remove the
uterus and then she can remove the vein.
Has anyone else had this type of thing
done?

Why does she have to take the uterus to
get the vein? Oh it must be supplying
the uterus with blood flow--i guess.
Right?
I am sorry you have to have one so
early---but make sure you get a second
opinion--your .Dr should recommend that
and support you on your decision(to get
second opinion, I mean.)
i had mine removed at 25, it wasnt a
miracle cure, but things have gotten much
better since then. I was symptom free
within about a year after mine, that was
nice. Course mine was 19 years ago.
