adhesions on ultrasounds

Ultrasound is not reliable for showing adhesions, but it is still possible for something to show that could make the doctor suspicious of adhesions. It's just not reliable-in other words, if "negative" you can't say the person doesn't have adhesions. Twenty years ago I had a hysterosalpingogram done and that is an x-ray of the uterus and tubes with dye. With that they were able to tell me I had a "mat of adhesions" covering the left side of my pelvis, which is what they found 20 years later on a lap. But the ultrasounds I had (3 of them) before my first lap were basically "negative" except for small endometriomas on both ovaries.
