Karyn;

You need to know before you have a hysterectomy that having a hysterectomy may not (and normally doesn't) get rid of adhesions once and for all. In fact, (speaking from experience) it makes them worse and more dangerous, because they tend to adhere elsewhere, like your bowels and intestines. I had endometriosis and severe adhesions and had a hysterectomy, and now my adhesions are attached to my bowels, which is always a worry as they can strangulate your bowels. If you are susceptible to adhesions, the more surgeries you have, the worse off you can get with adhesions, so be very wary of having more surgeries, and make sure that you read the posts here and the quilt to know what can happen with such surgeries.

Best of luck -

Janine
