Change in bowels and had a hysterectomy 18months ago

Hi I have had severe endometriosis for 20 plus years and finally had a hysterectomy 18 months ago. I have in the last few weeks had severe constipation and pain in my back and hip and down my leg. I am weeing more and in pain with my back and a ovalation type pain. My doctor advised leaving my ovaries in due to my age 46. I am worried I could be experiencing either more endomatriosis growing back or cancer related. I am overweight which I am trying to work on.
