Hello all...
I had emergency surgery in August to remove two 10 cm dermoid cysts and my ovaries and tubes. One of the cysts had burst causing tremendous pain. Anyway, during surgery, they discovered that my intestines were fused to my ovary, so they had to call in another surgeon to release my intestine and to make sure all was okay. My GYN told me the next day that she would have done a complete hysterectomy, since she was removing both ovaries and tubes, but there was so much scar tissue that she couldn't get in there and she didn't want to disturb anything more than she had to, since they already had to work on my intestines a bit... she asked me if I had had any previous surgeries or anything, which I have not... Has anyone else heard of this? Does anyone know what could cause all that scar tissue in there?? Could it be from another cyst leak or rupture that was never treated? (Now that I have been through this I realize that I had similar pain a year ago that went away after 2 days, and wasn't as bad)... my cysts were never detected at my routine pap tests so I never knew they were in there...
Hope all is well with you all... I am at week 10 after surgery and feeling so much better... well, except for the "change" .. surgical menopause which is so much fun!!! :) ACK!
