I AM NOT A DOCTOR but have been living with adhesions throughout my abdominal and pelvic cavities following multiple GYN surgeries for many years. From my experience IF you can live with what is going on try to but if your quality of life gets to the point "you are not living" seek out surgeons (usually GYN'S) that are very familiar with adhesions and their removal. If possible get multiple opinions. Be aware no matter what anyone tells you adhesions DO NOT show up on any tests unless it has totally blocked your GI tract or something serious like that. Know your body and be your own patient advocate-you know your body better than anyone else. Good luck

You should have a checkup with your surgeon.  Ask if this could be adhesions and whether anything should be done.
