Surgical Clips after Hysterectomy
A friend of mine had a hysterectomy a few years back, as a result of a severe endometriosis. Since this procedure, she has continued to have periods of extreme debilitating pain. Recently she had an x-ray that showed two clips that were left in her abdomen following the surgery. Oddly enough, the clips are in the EXACT same area where this pain emanates from. She has asked her OBGYN, who said that the clips are necessary and said it is doubtful that the pain would result from the clips. I find it strange that the clips shouldn't be causing pain, yet the location of the clips and pain can't just be coincidental.
Has anyone else had the same experience or or understanding as to why this is happening?

Hello,
Such pain after endometriosis can be due to adhesion formation after endometriosis surgery or even recurrence of endometriosis. Symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain(usually before menstruation but sometimes during intercourse,urination or defecation), sometimes diarrhea or constipation,irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding,sometimes blood in the urine and inability to conceive.
Get it evaluated from a gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis.
