Ovary relocating to abdomen
Hi!
I wrote last week about my daughter. She is still having major problems, severe back pain, shooting pains down the inside of her legs, rectal bleeding, and a vaginal discharge which she describes as "stringy". She saw a surgeon last week, and this week she sees her ob/gyn. The surgeon really didn't give her any information, and she is so convinced that she is going to go Thursday and be told that she has some kind of cancer. I would like to help alleviate some of her fears, but I don't have any answers. Has any one else suffered from any of these symptoms, and if so would you please reply?
Thank you so much,
Jan

Ovary relocating to abdomen
Hi Jan
Well, I've found a couple things that might be helpful, but I'll be very interested to see what her gyn say.
First, here's a link for you:
Both ovaries on one side
And then here's something that was on a message board regarding fertility issues:

Question:
1. I know that a retroverted uterus is a variation of normal, but my uterus is sometimes anteverted and sometimes retroverted. There seems to be no connection to what day of cycle etc. Before my last pregnancy (I am 37 and have 3 kids) the uterus was always anteverted. But during the last few months I have had quite a few pelvic exams and ultrasounds (for other reasons), and as I said it's sometimes ante and sometimes retro. The doctor said not to worry, but did not explain anything. What could this mean? Maybe the uterus ligaments are torn or worn out? I had a D&C for a missed abortion 9 months ago, could this have caused the uterus to be mobile? I want to get pregnant again, would this be a problem?
2. My ovaries used to be at (what I understand) their correct position next to the sides of the uterus, but during the last few months they have been seen on ultrasounds ABOVE the uterus, one next to the other, even touching each other, in the middle of the belly, just under the navel. How could they have moved up there? Aren't they somehow fixed? And did the tubes move along with the ovaries to their new place? Would this position be a problem for getting pregnant or increase the risk of a tubal or ectopic pregnancy? Thank you for your response.
Answer:
The change in the uterine position is likely secondary to laxity in the ligaments supporting the uterus secondary to your previous pregnancies. This is certainly not a problem and will not preclude pregnancy.
The ovaries are supported "loosely" allowing them to be freely mobile within a large area of the pelvis. Their change in position is not really relevent for anything and where they go, the tubes are close by. This also will not preclude pregnancy.

I hope this helps somewhat!
