Back in July of 2009 I had a laporoscopy to burn off some scar tissue that had built up after my c-section. After burning off the scar tissue they placed some sort of mesh on my uterus to prevent the scar tissue from rebuilding. I recently started having sever lower abdominal and pelvic pain. I had another laporoscopy done because the doctor thought it may be endometriosis, which I had been diagnosed with in 2010. The doctor found no endometriosis. I am wondering if this could be the same mesh that has been causing serious problems in other women. Can you help me? |

Dear Sunni Layman In our impression in previous surgery the gynecologist might have used Interceed for adhesion prevention. It is not mesh. GYNECARE INTERCEED |

Dear Layman The tissue lining the inside of the uterus is called the endometrium.. Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue is also present outside of the uterus. Some women with endometriosis have no symptoms, while others experience marked discomfort and pain and may have problems with fertility. Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection caused by a sexually transmitted organism. Occasionally, it is caused by a previous ruptured appendix or scarring resulting from previous pelvic surgery. It can involve the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and, when acute, symptoms of infection such as fever and chills.

Dear Sunni Layman Your doctor must has used Interceed. Most pelvic organs are at least partially wrapped in a clear membrane called the peritoneum. When this delicate membrane is damaged during surgery, it becomes inflamed. Inflammation is normal and part of the healing process, but inflammation also encourages fibrous bands of scar tissue to develop, which can lead to adhesions. Your doctor places INTERCEED over your pelvic organs during your C-section or pelvic surgery. INTERCEED acts as a barrier between healing tissue surfaces, preventing them from adhering or "sticking" together. The fabric eventually dissolves as your body heals. Interceed does not cause adhesion but prevent adhesion. If your pain again re-occur please tell your gynecologist to rethink for review of diagnosis. With regards Sadhana |
