A question from a newcomer. I'm 45 and never even had a painful period
let alone surgery of any kind. I did however have the same iud for 19
years, although this never caused any bother. No infections,injuries or
STDs. For about 3 years I have been getting fit with regular weight
training. Then 12 months ago I began to get a pulling tugging pain
whilst doing abs. exercises, which got worse during the year, becoming
a constant 'scrunging' pain in lower right flank. Iud removed. The
pain has lessened over the past couple of months, but never gone, and I
began to get indigestion and bloating. Fearing endometriosis or worse,
I had a lap last week. Apparently I have adhesions, but why did I get
them? Can weight training actually cause adhesions in an otherwise fit
person? Can an iud cause adhesions without having PID? The strange thing
is, my Gynae says there are signs that they have been a lot worse, and
appear to be shrinking. He says there's a 60-80% chance they will
disappear altogether. His diagnosis fits with the pain being less, but
has anyone ever heard of adhesions disappearing of their own accord?
Great to have discovered your web-site, and looking forward to your
feedback.
