Your experiences of adhesion of ovary to uterus

Hello I had an ultrasound yesterday to see if anything has changed with my endometriosis since the last time I was checked (2012 laproscopy). I had a baby nearly 4 years ago and have been having problems for the past year and a bit. They have said they can feel a ridge of possible scar tissue along the back wall of my vaginally canal and wanted to do an ultrasound first before possibly doing an MRI (to look at the extent of scar tissue). I already have an adhesion of my bowel to the back of my uterus and they told me yesterday it looks as though my right ovary may now be adhered to my uterus. I am just wondering if anyone has experience of this and what this entails. Did it affect your fertility? Did you have to have the adhesion dealt with or did they leave it? I know everyone is different so what they do for one will not necessarily reflect my case at all. I am just curious as to what they might suggest.

Hi there, I am currently awaiting a hysterectomy once I have done another few months on Prostap 3 injection. My bowel is stuck to my uterus which was discovered whilst in surgery to remove my ovaries, they didn’t take the ovaries as they said there’s a chance they may have had to resect my bowel and didn’t want to do that without my permission. So I still have ovaries intact at present. I’ve since changed consultants and he has told me that yes dependant on the severity of the adhesions. He said there is still a chance they can remove without causing any damage to bowel. A friend of mine recently had surgery to separate her ovary from bowel and they managed it with no damage so I am hopeful that will be the case , your right everyone is different, sorry I can’t help with the fertility side of things as I don’t plan on anymore children so it’s not a question I have raised with my consultant. The adhesions do cause me pain so I’m choosing to have them dealt with but I guess it depends on the affect it’s having on each individuals life and pain. Really hope you get sorted and get some clearer answers 🙂 xxx
