Susan-adhesion painsFrom: Christine (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Dec 31 06:39:26 1998
Yes, I was thinking about ovarian cancer and other things like colon cancer. I don't know how old you are, but I think you are a young woman. Although these things can occur in younger woman it is unusual when they do. However, it's a whole different ball game when you get post menopausal. So that's why I asked what to do about pain? As I said before, docs don't have much of an answer on this one other than the usual tests recommended for everyone (like occult blood for colon cancer) and regular pelvic exams for ovarian cancer. Even for the normal population, there isn't much to detect ovarian cancer ahead of time-just regular pelvic exams. You can do CT scans but they don't generally do them as a screening, just if there are suspicians or you have a strong family history. They tell you to "know your body." I think the body plays too many tricks on us to rely on this one! The only symptom I had with the partial bowel obstruction was the pain I was complaining of. I have read that as long as there is a partial opening, then everything gets through and the symptoms of obstruction do not develop. Of course, you never know when they could change. If I had eaten a pit for example, that might have done it. I think it was when the gyn told the general surgeon I saw that I was partially obstructed at the time of the first lap, this spurred the gen surgeon into action. Chris
