cramping with no ovaries, cervix, or uterus?
Women's Health | Last Active: Jan 24, 2023 | Replies (60)Comment receiving replies
So my mother some time ago (possibly months or about a year I'd say) got her ovaries removed.
She has been experiencing lower abdomen pain, much similar to cramps.
She is an older lady who is going through menopause, she gets a hormone pellet that releases mainly testosterone.
She had PCOS, but thats somewhat irrelevant to the lack of ovaries.
She currently takes progesterone.
The pain occurred sometime this week (Roughly more than 4 days ago).
She isn't experiencing nausea.
We're not sure whats going on and she has consulted her OBGYN.
If anyone has experinced this or can make some suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I came here looking for answers about the same thing. I have no uterus nor ovaries now but I did keep my cervix. I had continued monthly bleeding after the hysterectomy so my doctor did a second surgery to remove my ovaries and some wayward endometrial tissue. I thought that the ovaries would take any monthly cycle with them. But every month I bloat, cramp, crave chocolate, and then after a couple days it passes but the bloating goes down more slowly these days unless I take a “water pill”. I’m fine the rest of the time but this still keeps happening in a cyclical pattern. Do our other glands signal the stupid endometriosis to keep kicking our butts once a month?

What did the OBGYN think might be the issue?
