Hi- This is my first time posting on this forum. I am 28 and had a
hysterectomy 2 years ago with a bladder suspesion also. This past June
I had the last remaining ovary removed. During surgery, my surgeon said
2 loops of my bowel were stuck to other organs. There is exstensive
scarring and adhesions she said. I never had endo, this was from a
hysterectomy, and continous bleeding cysts. She was able to remove the
one loop of bowel from the ovary she was removing. The other loop of
bowel is still stuck with extensive adhesions to my bladder and abdomen
wall. She was afraid of puncturing bowel,or bladder and left it there.
Had a lot of complications after the operation. Continued to bleed in
pelvis for 3 months post-op. Had the blood drained, and pelvis filled
up again with blood. The blood finally reabsorbed months later, but my
doc said it made it worse now. I am still having pain with the bowel,
and bladder. Sent to a urologist, and had ct scan which showed the
bowel attached to bladder, and abdomen. My gyno surgeon said surgery
with full incsion to remove the organs because the bowel is kinked, and
there is still fluid build-up around the bowel and bladder still 7
months later. She said this is keeping the bowel and bladder irritated.
The urologist talked with her and he wants to try overstretching my
bladder to try and break some of the adhesions. He said it won't fix
it, but maybe give some relief for a short time. He calls it
hydrodistention. It usually is for people with IC. Has anyone here had
this done for your adhesions? They want to try this first since it is
less evasive. My gyno said- I will still need the surgery down the
road. I hope this works. Please let me know if any of you have
experienced this, or know someone who has. Thanks
