Had Hysterectomy, Cervix Was Removed. Pain Around Left Ovaries. Is It Ovarian Cancer?

Hi, I am a 57 Yr old Black female, who had a hysterectomy during my middle 30s, and cervic was also removed, and never pregnant.
For about 18 months, there has been pain around left ovaries, and discomfort seem to spread into wider area.
Family Dr., thinks since there is no cervic, she will not do pap smear, and I have yet to visit OBGYN.
Question is, ovarian cancer or not... Thanks, Maddie is WI.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Ovarian cancer can present with symptoms such as pelvic or abdominal pain, bloating or a feeling of fullness, fatigue, change in bowel habits, nausea.

The symptoms experienced and the severity may vary from person to person.

It is would difficult to determine whether there is any chance of cancer without physical examination, blood tests (CA125) and imaging investigations (such as ultrasound and/or CT scan).

Your doctor will likely suggests that these tests on your visit.

There are other causes for pelvic pain other than ovarian cancer that may be responsible for your discomfort.

I hope this helps
