hysterectomy ended your pain. I've been told by drs

pain and lower back pain (possibly from drain scarring
in cul de sac during surgery). Many people advise me
not to have hyster due to more adhesions. You say it
ended your pain. Did you already have adhesions
there? Did the hyster cause adhesions? How long ago
was it? I'm interested because I'm trying to make a
decision. Was also considering just having the
fibroids removed and keeping uterus but was told
fibroids will come back. Also told that uterus should
come out when I get lysis so adhesions dont re adhere
to uterus. In a total state of confusion and trying
to make things right so i can possibly have a better
quality of life. Any input anyone has re this would
be so appreciated. Thanks.
