I don't really have any answers as I to am suffereing with the consequences of a hysterectomy that I was told would give me my life back. It has destroyed my life. I am in worse pain since the unneeded surgery(yes, the biopsy caome back negative, I did ndot have the adenomyosis they told me I had). I have had a 50 lb. weight gain, severe pain, back and hip issues, sexual dysfunction, nerve damage, bladder issues, and many more all since the surgery.
I know that many women have a great outcome, but there are us women who don't and we should not be looked down upon for our bodies not healing from the trauma or that fact theat they did not respond how others did. We desperately want to be better and it is difficult for us to even get through a day sometimes.
So no, I don't have the answers, and my kids are what get me through, but I cry, beg, plead, keep searching, hoping the next doctor will help. I just want you to know you are not alone. If you look you will find thousands of women who are suffering still and lots who arent. Happy for those, but just know someone cares and understands.
Best wishes to you and I hope you find relief eventually!

You definately need to get with a doctor who does natural horomone adjusting. Sometimes diet itself can tweak hormones, but I am not sure as I have not tried that yet. I kept my ovaries, but they are definately having a hard time working. That is another thing I was told, that my ovaries would just jump in and start working on their own after a very long stent on birth control pills. Not so true as long term use slows them down already and then you traumatize them by cutting away the fallopian tubes. Not good
Also as far as scar tissue, wow, for sure. I have been in worse pain since my surgery and finally just this past week after seeing at least 25 doctors one finally listened. She did an ultrasound an could clearly see one ovary adhered to my bowel, the other to the surgical cuff. That is just the beginning she said. I am now facing a second surgery for adhesions, which by themselves destroy lives. I am very fearful to mopen this can of worms as adhesion have a 99% of returning after removal so it is a lifelong battle she said. Right now I am just looking for a few years hopefully.
Don't let doctors tell you there is nothing wrong or it is all in your head. I have heard that an worse. Don't give up, your grandkids need you.
I did find out that my iron, B12, and D3 were low so I am supplementing with that to see if it helps some of the pain. You might just ask to have some labs ran like ESR and inflammation markers, some minerals and vitamins, and then just some general counts. I did not realize how low mine were. I know they won't take away the adhesions, but might help me emotionally while dealing with all this.
Hugs!
