You have adhesions. If you are going to have surgery, I would find a surgeon who can correctly apply an adhesion barrier. Your best bet would be to find an infertlity specialist who can perform a gasless laser lysis on you. Try http://www.adlap.com for more information. Microsurgical techniques and spray gel are the best defense we have against this. If you have a hysterectomy, remember that you will have an empty cavity and all your intestines will shift into that space as mine did, and then your intestine will adhere to your bladder and bowel as mine did. Using spray gel and finding a specialist are a good idea. Yours, Deborah
