Hi!

I'm not going to be of any help to you, but if it will make you feel any better I'm going through something like this my self. I had a hysterectomy in March of 2001 at the age of 26. My ovaries were left. I had (3) prior surgery's to remove endometriosis and this is what ultimately led up to the hysterectomy. I've occasionally had abdominal pain in the last (2) months and (3) days ago I started bleeding. This freaked me and my husband out. I called my Dr. and he said for me to come in and get cauterized. He said that his best guess would be that I had a granuloma. He said that one in six women get this. I not only had to get cauterized, but had to get the granuloma cut out and removed with the aid of numbing gel. It took (3) attempts before he had it all out and (3-4) cauterizations to stop the bleeding. The hold thing seems abnormal and I continued to bleed for another 48 hours after I left the office and now I'm spotting. If you find out something please let me know in a response from you on this web page.

Thank you, >From a Georgian
