Hysterectomy for uterine adhesions
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy for uterine adhesions
hysterectomy
If you have a history of abdominal or pelvic surgery, then you must explore the possibility of adhesions. “Although most abdominal adhesions go unnoticed, the most common symptom is chronic abdominal or pelvic pain.” “No tests are available to diagnose adhesions, and adhesions cannot be seen through imaging techniques such as x rays or ultrasound. Most adhesions are found during exploratory surgery.
However absence of scar tissue does not mean that there are no adhesions. However these adhesions recur and cutting the adhesions can cause more adhesions to form. Hence a judicious decision is required regarding the approach to be taken. Certain herbs and mucolytic enzymes have been tried with variable success rates for this. Do discuss with your doctor. Take care!
I had a full abdo hysterectomy 1 yr ago .
this should not be for a woman my age. the gyn stated he dosent want to do a hysterectomy on me due to lots and lots of adhesions i have from alot of surgeries i had in the past. this is the very last resort. have you spoken your concerns to your gyn. the endometrial biopsies were normal for me but extremely painful. the last one they didn't get enough tissue so now i just had the d and c and am awaiting results of this. i wish you well.
I may too have hysterectomy yet but any pelvic surgery (if you are prone to adhesions) can cause further adhesions. If your GP is not understanding your pain and offering suitable pain relief id switch GP for second opinion and even surgeon as I did.
There were no other adhesions except for the small loop bowel adhesions between the left uterosacral ligament in the sigmoid. Appendix was normal. Liver was normal. We initially started with lysing the left ovarian ahesions with sharp cautery, and the ovary was then mobilized anteriorly, and we scored the antimesenteric border of the ovary. The cyst was then shelled out under sharp and blunt dissection. The cyst was removed through the 10mm port. The base appeared to ooze at the hilum...
Do adhesions from a Hysterectomy get worse or cause future complications if not surgically corrected or is it just to help the pain? Should this be performed by a surgeon or the GYN doctor who performed the Hysterectomy? Thank you!
Pelvic and/or vaginal pain can be due to UTIs, vulvovaginitis, labial adhesions and foreign body in vagina like a toilet paper etc, STD, PID or pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine or extra uterine endometriosis, kidney stones and vaginal prolapse.

Could the mass possibly be an ovarian remnant with a cyst? I don't know why it shows on u/s but not CT... very odd. Your pelvic pain could be recurring endometriosis and not adhesions. Plus surgery (even if it's to remove adhesions) will cause more adhesions... a catch-22. And it's difficult to remove all endo especially by surgeons who are not true endometriosis excision specialists.
The treatment is is more surgery - hopefully laparscopic - but more surgery can lead to more adhesions, which puts you in a vicious circle of surgeries. Bowel adhesions are common after hysterectomy, and can cause terrible digestive problems by slowing transit time to the point of causing reflux, regurgitation or even a full bowel obstruction.
I had a complete hysterectomy Oct 2012. I still have sooo much gas. It is not painful but why is this still happening? And it really embarrassing cause it is quite explosive and uncontrollable.
This technique seems to break up the adhesions and it worked for me. I figured that if it worked for adhesions that formed naturally in our body, it should work for surgical adhesions. It did!
It is truly amazing. I noticed a HUGE difference immediately. When I sat up after the fist time I did this (about a 15 min. session) I could feel a "FLOOD" or a Rush of blood or something! going to that area.
I have had multiple surgeries for lysis of adhesions due to hysterectomy, c-sections, ovarian cyst removal, etc. I have had a bowel resection due to the adhesions on the small intestine. I am in constant, severe pain but I am told by the doctors around here that there is nothing to be done, because any additional surgery to remove adhesions would only create more adhesions plus it is too dangerous for them to even attempt since everything is stuck together.
Because of this, he was unable to move my uterus to look around for endo. The doctor had suggested a hysterectomy (but leaving my ovaries). My question is has anyone had this done and has it alleviated their pain? I've been having IBS symptoms and excrusiating cramping and abdominal pains (like when you have a bad bout of gas) but it's constant! They have done a colonoscopy to rule out intestinal problems along with a CT and MRI, all came back fine.
Are they saying if it's endometrosis or have you had a dnc or iud that could have caused asherman's syndrome (unteruterine adhesions)? I guess what I'm asking for is a little more backround information. I have asherman's and although mine is in the upper part of the uterus *fundus area* where the embryo implants... I do have a little of insight to this if you have any questions.
