Pain After Ovarian Cyst Removed/ Numbness

I'm 25 years old, and 3 days ago I had a laparotomy to remove a melon-sized endometrioma(cyst) from my left ovary. I have the normal numbness around the incision site, but my concern is the new numbness in my right hand that started last night. My pinkie, half my ring finger, the tip of middle finger, and outside edge of my hand are numb and slightly tingly. I'm debating calling my doctor about it. I'm hoping this is normal and only temporary.

hi all

i had my surgery just 2 weeks ago, n i m finding that the pain is still there not that much as it was before the surgery but it is there n its enough painful...  what i feel is this pain accursed becoz of the damage we generally have at the tym of we r having the cyst in our body, so i guess it may take time to recover!! 

hope all of u get well soon of this disastrous pain...!!  

hi all, i had my left ovary removed last dec 27, 2011,. after a year i still feel the pain now. Me and my husband was trying to have baby after 8 months of marriage. I was worried of not getting pregnant anymore because of one ovary left, i feared i could not bear a child anymore because of the abortion i had when  i was 18 years old..Is this the consequence of my action, please help and give me some advice.

I also am 25 years of age and just had a laproscopic surgery on 1/09/2013. I had a dermoid cysts removed from my left ovary. It's been two days since then and I feel pain now and then. I am so thankful to God that I listened to my first thought to go to the doctor when I started getting pains on my left side or I as well would have lost a ovary. I had alot of damaged tissue removed as well. I really believe that this is a wonderful website for women to get on and share information as well as their experiences. I wish you lady's a speedy recovery as well as a happy and healthy recovery!! GET WELL SOON LADIES

Hi I had a similar dermoid (grapefruit size) removed on my right side and a smaller one removed on the left. It's been 3 weeks and I have had pain every month prior to my period. However, this month I seem to feel pressure/ tightness in my uterus after my period. Is this something you experienced? How often do you get follow ups after surgery and what do they do?

Hi everyone, I've recently been told I have dermoid cysts on both ovaries -- A large one on my right ovary and a smaller one on my left (was told by the obstetrician-gynaecologist that I would probably win the award for biggest cyst this year!). This is all really overwhelming for me, as I am only 19 and am freaking out that I may be facing infertility and, if they have to remove both ovaries, surgical menopause. I have my next appointment with the gyn in two weeks, but in the last few days, I've noticed dull pain that has been increasingly persistent, in both sides of my abdomen and constant back pain. I was just wondering if this was normal? Was thinking about going to my GP, but I don't want to go in if it is nothing serious. What is people's experience with having their ovaries removed? The gyn said that they would do everything they could to preserve the ovaries, but when I (briefly) met the specialist when I got the second ultrasound, he seemed to indicate that i would almost definitely lose at least the right, and possibly part of the left. Are there any medical implications of losing so much, in regard to lower hormone levels and fertility? Also, what about the re-occurrence of cysts later in life? If I only have part of my left ovary left after all of this, what's going to happen if the cysts come back in a few years? Please help, I am freaking out! :-(  

My 13 year old daughter had a 4.5 cm ovarian cyst removed in november and a 1.5 cm from right side she had a lot of pain on the left side in one exact spot she could put her finger on it ..Very tender and not severe pain but very sore she said sore enough to make her walk funny and with a hump and she goes pale when really sore and annoyed ...now 4 months later and 3 stays in hospital later after 5 ultra sounds one ct scan and numberous blood tests shes been told she needs to talk to a phychologist about the pain which they maintain is Reccurant Abdominal Pain but in my opinion they dont know what it is so are throwing this c**p at us and i believe a blessing from the priest would have a better chance of getting rid of the pain than a phychologist so frustrated right now as pain is still very bad and shes after missing 30 days school in last 4 months of a very important year and there just gonna send us home ....anyone have anything like this they could share ....

It may be adhesions. I had a 7cm dermoid removed in Dec. and still have pain in the same area. I have had a follow up CT which came back clear. I'm almost certain the pain is due to adhesions in my case.

Had 6 different ultrasounds and CT scan done at this stage now and they were happy it wasnt adhesions we got sent home yesterday and told it wasnt anything serious in there minds and that it will pass in time but they couldnt tell me how much time and with her being 13 shes in a very important year in school and has missed 30 days since november how much time do i let her miss ..Really they havent a clue and think that its link to a phychological thing but shes a very happy girl she is not being abused or being a bully so i think there wrong and in a few weeks im gonna ring them if the pain is still there and im gonna go nuts....4 months now all these tests and no answers

I also had my left ovary removed but no one knows why it twisted. I had my removed 2 weeks ago and had pain on both side of my back. Also in my spine . 

Hey honey, dont worry hardly any pain as such, uncomfortable and a bit of bruising throbbing if you know what i mean, just rest up after let your body heal, oh and a bit of period like cramping pain but we Girls are used to that. Good Luck and dont sorry xx

Hi
please any one help me i'm worried cause i had surgery for an ovarian cyst about 3 months ago and they removed the right one . About 2 months after the surgery I was having pain sometimes on my left ovary sometimes on the right side like a pulse sometimes on my back and my thigh i dont know what's going on, but my doctor said it was just from the surgery. i made about 3 times sonar for checking but the told my that the left ovary is good if nothing bad so what is this pain ????????

I had right side ovarian cyst removal January 2013 and had numbness few weeks. however, after one month the pain was normal. even the menstrual cycle was regular with small pain in the right side. But last three days i am having same pain i had before surgery in right side ovary and back pain. after reading this thread seems it may another cyst may have appeared again and may be its just the numbness. i am too confused for this reason and need some more help to figure this out. do i have to do a scan again  or will this be a ok soon since this is really a headache for me...

On sept 5 I went to my OBGYN to confirm a pregnancy and while I was there told them I was having mild pain in my right ovary. They did an ultrasound and found a cyst larger than my ovary. To prevent this from rupturing and causing severe blood loss ad possibly death I had the cyst removed laparoscopically. They made 4 incisions, 1 in the belly button, 2 at the bikini line and the 4th right above my labias. My surgery was 2 hours long. After I woke up I ha no pain at all but when I got up from sitting or laying. That was torture. I had no numbness at all and barely took any pain medications. My forth incision took the longest to heal due to have to get the large cyst out the doctor said. I'm am doing just fine now. The scars are barely noticable. I lost the pregnancy but am hoping to be pregnant again soon.
