>> My wife had a hysterectomy to remove a grapefruit sized Uterine Fibroid
>> 2 years ago. She did not have Endometriosis but the Uterus was removed.
>> The pre-op Ultrasound showed the fibroid against the large intestine and
>> the bladder. She has had a lot of abdominal pain in the lower right
>> (inguinal area) and her doctor does not think it is from adhesions. She
>> says the pain is worse on the right but recently there is also pain on
>> the left with a pulling sensation and some pain between them. The scar
>> (about 6") is just below where the pain goes across the abdomen. The
>> first 7 months after the operation she was numb in that area and
>> partially numb for another 5 months. My three questions are can
>> adhesions be caused from surgery if no Endometriosis was found? Can you
>> develop Endometriosis after your Uterus has been removed? and can anyone
>> recommend a doctor in New Hampshire or New England?
>> Thank you so much!
