ovarian cysts after hysterectomy

Hi,

I'm new to this site but I hope you can help. I am 56 years old and in Nov. of 2006 I was diagnosed with stage 1a endometrial cancer and had a total hysterectomy with bilateral removal of my ovaries.  I recently went for my checkup with my gyno and she ordered a CT scan which showed a left ovariancyst measuring 3.7x3.4x3.5cm and a right ovarian cyst measuring 3.1x2.8x3.4cm.  Is it possible that the cancer has returned?  Could it be Ovarian remnant Syndrome?  The only symptoms I seem to have is mild pelvic discomfort (I sometimes feel that I am ovulating but I know I can't) and microscopic blood in my urine.  Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me.  Yes they really removed both my ovaries on the previous surgery.  Even my OB went back over the surgical reports to make sure.  I had a transvaginal sonogram last Wednesday and I am waiting for the results so I haven't spoken to my OB yet about the results,  but I'll let you know.

That is so stange.  Did they really remove ovaries during your prior surgery? It could be ovarian remnant syndrome but it's fairly rare, especially for BOTH to return.  The doctors are going to have to figure this one out for you, and sadly it may mean another surgery to be sure.  I hope it turns out to be a benign situation for you...either ovarian remnants or scar tissue or both.
