No: The actual position of the ovary after hysterectomy is not as important as whether there is good blood flow from the ovary into the general circulation to provide the necessary hormones to the patient..

No: As long as you don't have any symptom, the position of the ovary is not a problem.

I am having intense sharp pain in my lower right abdomen. It is worse when I am in a sitting position. Excruciating with a bowel movement. I have had a full hysterectomy. If I pull my knees up to my chest or lay down, the pain's less. No fever/nausea?
