A hysterectomy is not a good way to reduce adhesions in the abdomen this is true. I have had a hysterectomy and it left me with ARD Adhesions Related Disorder and there is no cure and hysterectomy causes it 98% of the time in all patients so I would ask that you get a second opinion. Surgery should ONLY be done to the abdomen when it is life threatening and only then.
If you would like help finding out more about hysterectomy risks here in my page I started a few years ago and it has a video on for you to watch that really helps a woman understand what she is doing to her body: here is that link: http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user
And if you want to check out Adhesions Related Disorder Just type in Adhesions Related Disorder into your search engine or browser.
I will pray that you make the decision that is right for you.
God bless,
Sabrina
