Pearl...

I am sorry to hear of the pain that you are in.

It is possible that you have formed adhesions from the surgeries. Ultrasounds will not show this.

If there is nothing wrong with your uterus (fibroids, adenomyosis), then taking out the uterus will not do any good. They can go in and look around to see if there are adhesions and if so, take care of them.

When you say that you have the bacteria that causes ulcers, I am assuming you are talking about H. Pylori....I am not a Dr. or any type of medical professional, but don't see where that would be connected.....

You might want to see if you can find a Dr. that specializes in Pelvic Pain and discuss this with him/her.

Good luck, and feel better!
