Hello everyone. I am new at this whole internet thing....was very
suprised to find so much info out there on a problem I had thought was
mine. I am 32 yo, hx of pid & gallbladder surgery. I was diagnosed
with p.a. 4 years ago when my ob/gyn told me that they are so extensive
that my only option is hysterectomy. One tube and ovary are adhered to
my bowel, the other tube and ovary are "totally obliterated". After
finding mucous (sp)and blood in my stool and having increased bloating
and pain, I went to the doctor yesterday and he has blown me off and
sent me to a gastro. I guess a gastro could be helpful in determining
if there is any obstruction. I am bummed. The ob/gyn says that there
is a good chance of a colostomy if he tried to remove the adhesions from
my bowels. Doesn't sound like fun to me. Anyone have any thoughts on
this? Has anyone else been told that hysterectomy is the only option?
