I understand how you feel.

Now, I understand what you are describing--adhesions. An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that binds two parts of tissue or organs together.

The tissue develops when the body's repair mechanisms respond to any tissue disturbance, such as surgery, infection, trauma, or radiation.

Pelvic adhesions may involve any organ within the pelvis, such as the uterus, ovaries, Fallopian tubes or bladder and usually occur after surgery such as after a hysterectomy. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which results from an infection, usually a sexually transmitted disease, frequently leads to adhesions in and around the Fallopian tubes.

Adhesions  develop as the body attempts to repair itself. This normal response can occur after surgery, infection, trauma or radiation.

Is this at all helpful?
