She still has her left ovary and tube. She has had pain and bleeding with intercourse. Other than that she has an occasional sharp pain in side .She had an ultrasound and was told that there was swelling of the vaginal cuff and that it looked as though the vaginal cuff was attached to the ovary and tube. She was advised that more surgery was in order and that would take the other ovary and tube out since trying to seperate would damage it. > I'm concerned about her bones and how this will affect her life. Are there any other options? We'd like to feel like she is making an INFORMED choice. What can you tell us? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! THANK YOU!!! there are several options for reducing the risk of osteoporosis -- estrogen, bisphosphoneates like Fosamax or Actonel, or SERMS like Evista. As far as other options, a laparoscopy to look for a dn clean up scar tissue is one, Lupron to suppress endo is another. She may want to get a second opinion from another doctor -- M.
