Endo adhesion advice

Hi

I had a laparoscopy in October last year to remove adhesions from my bowel and uterus area my consultant also did a partial hysterectomy

It’s now nearly 6 months on my consultant said u should be fully recovered from October op by now

But I now have the following symptoms daily :

Constant pain down both sides in pelvic area

Pain when passing bowel movement on right side

When doing a walk just over an hoot I’m in agony and bad pain

Very bloated where it feels like someone is sitting on me

Having to take constant painkillers daily just so I can continue doing day to day things

Pain when bending down around pelvic area

My consultant suggested adhesions may have grown back again

I just wanted to get some other opinions on this does it sound like that to any of you??

I’m now waiting for an MRI scan to see if anything shows up on that

Please can I get some advice from you?

Hmm that seems like quite a long time. I had surgery in august and by November I was starting to feel better. Maybe you’re a bit slow in recovery? Or maybe it’s scar tissue?

Hi, sorry you are going through this. Can I suggest you look into Chinese medicine/acupuncture if you can afford it. They should be able to help you with the symptoms and any healing that still needs to occur.

If it is adhesions/scar tissue its worth reading about serrapeptase. Serrapeptase breaks down protein which is very helpful to reduce/remove scar tissue/adhesions. Pain does increase when taking it for 2ish weeks but it really does work. I had an incision from my last operation that would hurt daily for over 2 years due to scar tissue. After taking 80,000iu of serrapeptase for 2 weeks it stopped hurting. That was last Sept and it hasn't hurt since. I also felt like my right side bowel was going to become stuck, the pain was unbearable. I took serrapeptase (160,000iu daily on an empty stomach for over a month) my right side is so much better. Some pain but nowhere near as much. I now take a 80,000iu tablet every day to maintain it.

I hope you get to the bottom of it all. If you are interested in info on natural things that work please feel free to send me a message, happy to send you my research.

Hi sorry you are in such bad pain after having a partial hysterectomy. The idea of a hysterectomy is to relieve you of the condition you are in but it doesn’t always work! I have had 2 previous laparoscopies and just last week have had a total hysterectomy for removal of uterus & cervix this was due to pain similar to what you have described. I think you should really get referred back to your gynae consultant and stick to your guns with making them listen to you. It’s your body & you know how you are feeling. Good luck & I hope you are sorted very soon 🤗
