Susan,

I can attest to the fact that adhesions can hurt alot - and depending on the severity, the density and the placement, the pain can be felt in all the areas mentioned. Adhesions can be removed through a lap (I had that done) but a barrier of some sort needs to be used to help prevent the adhesions from reforming (mine did because no barrier was used). It kinda sounds like the two doctor's you've consulted are figuring that the only sure way to take care of one thing is to remove everything. Kinda ironic to me, I spent 6 years begging for a hysterectomy before I found a doctor willing to even discuss the "H" word with me and here you have 2 doctors offering it to you.

If all your other tests are normal and hysterectomy is an unacceptable course of action to you then I suggest you keep looking for a doctor willing to do a diagnostic lap.

Good luck
