Re: menstruating, post oophorectomy

Hi Pam,

My story is a bit different than yours. Supposedly I have had everything removed, but during my last surgery they did not get all of my ovary out, so I have ORS (ovarian remant syndrome.) I don't have "periods" per se, but still have cycles that feel like periods (cramps too-but not as bad as with a uterus) and pain from endometriosis.

Have you had a transvaginal US or had your estrogen/FSH levels checked? US won't always show a remnant, but if you have a cyst, you will probably be able to see it.

Hope this helps. Write back if you have anymore questions.

Best wishes, D.N.
