Don't consider a laparoscopy until you have spent a lot of time learning the facts about adhesions as well as your rights as a patient!!
Re: Have I got adhesions; From: angela lanier (alanier@mail.mcg.edu); Tue, 21 May 2002 10:04:56 -0500 (CDT) One year, five months ago I had a sonohystergraphy performed. As a result of the procedure I developed an infection and blew up like a balloon. I have been bloated since that time and no matter how many exams of other areas it goes right back to the fact I can't get rid of this bloating and it is painful to bend over to pick up anything on the floor. It is as though something is in the way. I have been examined from the bottom up and even endoscopy plus a thorascopy. Anyway, my question is, could it be possible that I have blockage from scar tissue? My last attempt to try to get an answer and relief is to have a laparoscopy. My question now is will that produce more scar tissue. What could have possibly caused my problem. When I had the sonohysteraphy, the moment the saline hit my uterus it was as though I was on fire. Anyone have a similar experience???
