I just happened to run across this website while on obgyn.net. I
recently had an exploratory lap in an effort to find the source
to two years of chronic pelvic pain. After the surgery I was told
that the doctors found alot of adhesions (mostly in the upper area)
and several fibroids. I have been back to the doctors several times
because the pains seemed to be getting worse, post surgery, instead
of better. I saw another doctor in the same clinic on friday. He
told me that when the exploratory lap was done they just diagnosed
the problem but did not remove anything. I have been running back
and forth to this clinic complaining of pain and they have been
responding by telling me there is nothing they can do for me with
out addressing the findings. It appears to me that they must
think that adhesions and fibroids could not possibility be the
cause of my problem.
Is it just me? Would you hope that a problem would be cleared
up after surgery? Or would you at least hope that it would be
addressed as a possible cause? Any suggestions on how to deal with
the adhesions?
