What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain After A Hysterectomy?

I had a hysterectomy five years ago and I have had lower abdominal pain on the left side for the last three days. I had an ultrasound today and it said that the left ovary is 11cc in volume with a 24mm dominant follicle. They have given me no treatment but I am still in terrible pain. What can I do

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Your history of hysterectomy 5 years back and no problems till just 3 days ago of pain in the left lower abdomen may not have any relation at all.

The ultrasonography showing 11 cc volume and 24 mm cyst can not cause pain unless there is bleeding into the cyst. So they have not given you the treatment or may be they are waiting for some more results.
Another possibilities that can cause pain are: Colitis of the sigmoid colon, PID should have been diagnosed on ultrasound.
Get a course of antibiotic and metronidazole and anti-spasmodic.
If no relief go for colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen.
