Re: Lower abdo pain
Yes - adhesions can be a cause of pain. A pelvic scan or a CT will hopefully help find out the cause.

Re: Post natal vulval and perineal states
This doesn’t sound cosmetic at all. It sounds appropriate to ask your GP to refer you to a pelvic floor clinic. Unfortunately some women do have to have surgery to ‘refashion’ their perineum after childbirth.

Re: Treating endometriosis
Unfortunately most treatment does involve surgery or hormones. At present the only other real option available are different types of pain relief - painkillers, pain modulators, use of a TENS machine. It is probably worth speaking to your GP or gynaecologist who may be able to refer you to a special...

Re: Vaginal prolapse
Vaginal prolapse is the general term used for any prolapse. Management actually depends on which part of the vaginal wall or uterus has prolapsed. Vaginal pessaries are just one type of management. It is probably best to see your GP who can refer you to a specialist gynaecologist who can examine you...

Re: hysterectomy, PCOS and menopause

Re: Heavy Periods
Am sorry to hear this. For some women, who have tried most other things, you can have the lining of the womb burnt away (endometrial ablation). This is however not suitable for all women and will depend on the shape of your womb and whether you have any fibroids etc. It can be an alternative option ...

Re: Menstruation
As this bleeding is abnormal for you, it probably is worth going to see your GP to check it out. Hopefully nothing to worry about, but they should examine you and send you for a scan to check the lining of the womb if they are worried.

Re: Vagina a mass of scar tissue
Am really sorry to hear this. Unfortunately there is no easy solution to this that can be written on here. If you have not already been seen by a gynaecologist , your GP should refer you for review.
Wishing you well.
