How old are you? My suggestion is that you not have the hysterectomy...unless you absolutely think it is necessary. Any surgery you have...even laprascopic is going to add to your adhesion problem. I know of so many women who were told they needed hysterectomies only to find out when they obtained their surgical records that they did not have the problem for which they had the surgery. I don't remember all of your problems...but adhesions can do so much. It is possible that adhesions could be all of your problems.
