Brief Answer:
It can be related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Adhesive obstruction is mostly due to infections. If you have hysterectomy due to preceding infections then this can also be due the hysterectomy.

Surgery in the lower abdomen and pelvis, including bowel and gynecological operations like hysterectomy, carries a greater chance of abdominal adhesions. So yes it can be related.

Partial intestinal obstruction may relieve symptoms with a liquid or low-fiber diet, which is more easily broken down into smaller particles by the digestive system.

I hope this answered your query.
