I had a hysterectomy done...I was sent home and the next day, I tried to lift myself out of bed...I coughed at the same time...my incision reopened and they did emergency surgery and sewed it back up with tention rods...they took a ct scan, because, I hurt down there...they told me... my small bowel came down and landed where my uterus was...now it is across my whole lower abdomen this happened November...the Dr. said I might have to wait untill summer...he said, he wants to make sure,my insides are healed...I wonder if the bowel can attach to other organs...I have this feeling it attached to my stomach...can you let me know...

Hi Cricket,
You can also write these questions in your notebook or paper so that during your appointment you will not forget them. This has been very helpful from my experience as well. Always remember that your doctor is there to help and ready to answer all sorts of question.Best regards.

Hi,
Adhesions are bands of scar-like tissue that form between two surfaces inside the body or organs. Once they form, adhesions can become larger or tighter over time. Symptoms or other problems may occur if the adhesions cause an organ or body part to twist, pull out of position, or be unable to move as well. The risk of forming adhesions is high after bowel or female organ surgeries as in your case. The stength of the fascia and other connective tissue in your abdomen could have been affected when you coughed and strained after the operation, although a lot of factors could also contributed.That is why it is important to rest post-op. Another surgery is really not an option at present because the tissue inside is not yet properly healed. Talk to your doctor about this and discuss the manageemnt plan to ease any worry.Hope this helps. Take care always.

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. My small bowel came out of the fascia( the skin that holds the small bowel up)...it is down where my uterus was and across the bottom of my abdomen...I want to know...how are they going to put it back up also they are making me wait 6 mths. to do this operation...because, I'm not healed from the first operation...isn't that harmful...also, have you ever heard of this...I'm scared...thanks for listening...cricket425

Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? Abdominal surgery is the most frequent cause of abdominal adhesions. Unfortunately, there are no tests available to diagnose adhesions since these are not seen through imaging techniques such as x rays or ultrasound. Most adhesions are found during exploratory surgery. The most common symptom of adhesion is chronic abdominal or pelvic pain but it may also be asymptomatic. Check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
