I had a hysterectomy 30 years ago, the ovaries were left in. Last year I had a prolapse repair done and then in December an autogous fascia sling. Since August last year I have been having left sided pain, sometimes quite severe, that comes in waves. I had a pelvic ultra sound done in November which showed the left ovary is attached to the bowel. I do suffer from diverticula disease, and I am wondering if this can be causing my problems. Is there anything that can be done to relieve this?

The pain could well be due to the diverticulitis and the ovary could have become stuck due to previous surgery or inflammation. I would have the bowel investigated first, and if surgery to the ovary is also required then perhaps a joint approach between the gynaecologist and the bowel surgeon would help.
