I am trying to decide whether or not to have adhesions removed
surgically or if this should be just another one of those things that I
learn to 'live with.' For the past 4 years I have gone from one
gynecological problem to another- had three surgeries in 11 months - two
laps for cysts, one ovary removed and one hysteroscopic myomectomy for a
fibroid that had somehow gone undetected for the 2 1/2 years that I had
been seeking treatment for heavy, long periods. Of course the problem
cysts came back and it took three months for the last one to painfully
resolve itself. Now when I went back for my last ultrasound the gyn
could tell that the cyst had recently popped and also could very clearly
see a bunch of adhesions. Now the gyn does not know why I would have
these adhesions - my pelvis was clean when he did the hysteroscopic
myomectomy in October- and he did nothing that would have caused these
adhesions because all the 'work' was inside the uterus. Well now he
says I should wait to see if the pain goes away - but I am so tired of
being in pain. I would like to feel better even if it was only for a
little while. I am currently on lupron to prevent reoccurence of the
cysts. I can only have one more shot and then I have to go on birth
control pills, which I hate. They make me feel like I am always having
terrible PMS and the longer I take them the worse I feel. At least if I
got rid of these adhesions I might be able to enjoy myself until then.
Any ideas? Thanks- Laurie
