Bowel problems after TVH

HI all,

I had a TVH in March 2005 due to abnormal uternine bleeding. Ever since the surgery I have had stomach problems. The symptoms are mostly nausea, diarreah, and stomach cramps. I still have some tenderness and pain in the female area...where the ovaries are. I still have both of my ovaries.

I have had several CT scans, lower GI, Hida scan (no gallbladder issues), ultrasounds and an endoscopy. All I know is that I have inflammation of the stomach lining and duodenum. My GI doctor thinks I also have IBS. I have not had a colonoscopy yet. I really think he needs to do this test, but he has yet to mention it to me.

I am wondering if it may be adhesions due to the TVH. Do adhesions cause all of the symptoms I listed above?

I don't know if I need to see my GI doctor or my Gyno. It is so frustrating. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Debbie
