Your appendectomy surgery (I am sure) caused adhesions, also the
infection could have caused adhesions. I am not sure what the
infectious Drs could tell you but it might help. not all people with
adhesions have symptoms. I am not sure what DES is. Adhesions could
cause more problems for you. But, many women, including myself have had
normal pregnancies inspite of adhesions. What caused my adhesions was
my first c-section in 83. I had 2 more babies via c-sections after
that. I hope this information has been helpful.
