I had this but my pain was left sided. No recent pregnancies no surgeries. Doctors believed I had a torted ovary until they went in and found the thrombosis, ovary on left was necrotic as where both tubes. I’m now on xarelto for life. I presented with bad left flank pain that had been going on for three days.
I was just diagnosed with left side gonadal thrombosis I think that’s how they said it I had left pain in my flank and my upper back put me on Xarelto but I’m still in pain kinda scary
I had OVT in both ovaries following a partial laparoscopic hysterectomy. I was treated with Lovenox injections for a year and then was told to stop. It has been three years since the initial surgery and I still have severe pain in my right flank. It is the exact pain that I had with the OVT. It is pretty much always constant and is seriously affecting my life. My hematology dr said he doesn’t know what to do other than send me to a pain management specialist. Does anyone have anything similar to thiis and if so what relief have you found? I’m a full time nursing student and can’t be on pain medication 24/7. I’m so desperate for relief from this pain.
I was just diagnosed with a DVT in the vein leading to my right ovary, haven’t had any surgeries on my stomach since 2015, the last surgery was on my right knee Jan1 2019 was having severe pain in my stomach and right side thought it was appendicitis until they did a CT scan now I have to be on blood thinner for the next 6 months.
