>Ms. Mary Shoup I would like to know more about "Adhesions" because I just
had >a surgery and my doctor found a lots of adhesions (scar tissues) around my
>uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. He informed me that my fallopian
tubes >were closed because of the scar tissues and to make the story short he
removed >all the adhesions and he said that he re-opened by tubes and would hope
that >it will remained open. My questions are; Is it possible that the scar
tissues >may occur again during the waiting period of healing; is it still ok for me
to >have a child ( I would love to); about my fallopian tubes what are the
chances >to remain open; will there be a problem of infertilization? Please help me
to >answer all my questions, I mean I have asked my doctor but I still want
more >opinion from other doctors. My mainly question is "Will I still have a
child" >after all these problems I had (Adhesions on my around my uterus, ovaries
and >fallopian tubes). My doctor said it will all depend on how it will heal
(my >surgery), is that true? He told me not to loose hope and the main thing he
>said is "Let us hope that your fallopian tubes will remain open". I
believed >that he did a good work on me with our "almighty gods" help and after the
>surgery I did not feel much pain except my lower back hip once in a while
it >hurts, is that one of the symtoms from having adhesions? Other than that I
>did'nt feel anything bad and I do trust my doctor, but I just want other
>doctors opinion too. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that, right?

>I will wait for the answer and I thank you very much for your cooperation.
