Frozen pelvis
I just had surgery for a bladder sling and hysterectomy and vaginally lift. I had previously had surgery whenmi was 28 to remove a left ovary and part of my right ovary. The doctor went in laproscopical and said my organs and scar tissue was all over and he took all scar tissue and organs for hysterectomy and he will check for cancer next but he didn't think I had cancer. This is the first I heard of this. Did anyone else have these diagnosis and what am I to do next? What have you done
Hi
. I hope your recovery is going well. Were you in much pain before the surgery? How are you feeling now? It must be overwhelming to hear something like that, coming out of surgery. I'm glad you found this community and reached out. It is not unusual for scar tissue to form in people who have endometriosis and for that tissue to adhere to organs, resulting in a frozen pelvis. Removing the scar tissue can help as long as more scar tissue doesn't form in its place. Here is an article about scar tissue and adhesions that might interest you: https://endometriosis.net/complications-scar-tissue. There is no way to prevent adhesions, so there is not much you can do beyond taking care of yourself and being aware that it might regrow. Hopefully, the hysterectomy will help reduce the chances of regrowth. I wish I had more concrete answers, but endometriosis is unpredictable. When is your next doctor's appointment? Please keep us posted. I will be thinking of you. Sending lots of healing and healthy vibes your way. Lori (Team Member)
