    Hi there..i also had a side pain on my left..took A couple of months to finally ease up. Its still there sometimes but not nearly as bad. Does your pain get better on a pain pill or ibuprophen?

      Does this thrush only occur at night because come to think of it I seem to itch at night

      No not at night. You probably just notice the it itching more at nite cuz you are more relaxed than you are during the day

    Hi there

    After my hysterectomy in oct 2014 i had alit of problems soent 8 weeks in hospital . July last year i got terrible pain also my bowels were terrible felt like i had to go 24/7 . Changed diet nothing helped. Specialist said probably ovary pain as i kept these i was having hot flushes every 6 mins so next was hrt patches these heloed with hot flushes but not pain or bowels . Last week i had ovaries and the fallopian tubes out laparoscopic. Well my bowel problems have gone it was my right ovary wrapped around my small intestine so vrry glad i pursued it. Have not healed well have infection open wound grrrrrrrrr but i do urge you to go back to specialist and keep on intil you get answers imm in nz

    With a full hysterectomy- does it stop you getting thrush or BV?

      Do you still get it? I suffer from chronic BV and thrush and I hate my life for it.

      Bv is a bacterial infection which i was hoping that stuff like that wouldn't happen after the hysterectomy but it does and so does thrush. Bv can itch and cause discharge as well but antibiotics gets rid of it but then you get thrush from antibiotics. Im only 11 or 12 weeks post op hysterectomy
