Hello. Im a 47 year old female. Ive had severla lower abdomen surgerys ultimately a total Hysterectomy 8 years ago. Ive been having lower abdominal pain into my groin. Also lower backache, frequent urination (no pain while urinating). I went to th ER 6 days ago. The ER Doctor said that she believed that it could be Diverticulitis. Ive been taking 2 types of Antibiotics and pain medication. It had not gotton any better.When I had my Hysterectomy they found that I had Endometriosis and a lot of scar tissue. Could the endometriosis return? Or could the pain be caused by more scar tissue? Please help....Im in agony!!!
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. With the history of scar inside the abdomen and endometriosis, hysterectomy done already, and now you have pain in abdomen, the cause may be either of the two. Diverticulitis would give been diagnosed earlier at previous surgery. I would advise you to undergo the following investigations. Routine investigations of the blood, urine and stool. Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen. If required exploratory laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment of the causative factors as found on CT scan or on exploration.
