Question about Lap & Dr's report????

Hi Sisters,
I had a lap and D&C done July 30. I was told that my DR found only adhesions this time. 5 years ago, he found Endo. Anyways, after meeting w/ him after the surgery we did discuss a possible hysterectomy next surgery, even though he found JUST adhesions. But I've been wondering, could I get a copy of the report??? I really like my Dr, been seeing him for years, as he delivered both my children and did perform the 2 laps on me, but he doesn't communicate too well. He's very short and precise. Im wondering about details that I forgot to ask him. Could my Uteras be enlarged, boggy etc., anything that might suggest adenomyosis???? If anyone has any input, I would appreciate it. I think I will put a call into him today! Thanks Again!!!

Yes! In the US you have a legal right to all medical records, including surgical and path reports.

There is no harm in getting second opinions, either. If you have a primary physician you might ask her/him to recommend a good GYN who has good communication skills. They know the reputations in the medical community and can lead you to someone who can answer your questions.

Hi Mary,
Nice to meet you I just joined the group, and after reading your
post I had to reply. On July 14th, 01 I had a Lap & D&C and the
and fibroids were removed & also the dr told me that I had an
enlarged uterus,adhesions. However, he refused to do a hyst
for me & I wanted to have that done. After my 2nd son was born
19 yrs. ago I had a tubal. Now I've been experincing severe abdominal cramping, chronic pelvic pain, and my periods have
been very irregular with heavy bleeding (clots). Needless to say
the gyn & I no longer have a dr. patient relationship. He treated
me like dirt. He told me that all the "pain" was in my head...
So on Aug.22,01 I'm going to a NEW gyn for a 2nd opinion.
I truly hope that all works out for you. Please feel free to email
me anytime. Take Care Of Yourself...
