Hello, I have adhesions from a ruptured appendix. I have had a laparascopy for the lysis
of adhesions, but have more. I think I have some in my vagina. What do you
mean when you say "flare up" with sex. I have EXTREEM vaginal swelling during
and after intercourse only. I have had every test done, it can only be
related to this adhesion mess. Thanks.
