Brief Answer:
Adhesion release

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about pain.

These pains are probably due to 2 possibilities:

1. Enlarged uterus causing pain during intercourse.

2. Adhesions due to previous 2 surgeries.

I suggest you undergo laparoscopic surgery to remove uterus(hysterectomy) with adhesions releasing. This will give relief from both.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
