Adhesions from Surgery

1 Reply

A few weeks back in the ER, the dr told my laproscopy can cause adhesions which can cause further complications.

But doesn't endometriosis itself cause adhesions?

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've learnt the scar tissue from the endo results in adhesions between organs and sometimes the actual endo connects stuff.

I haven't had surgery yet, I'm just trying to get my mom to agree so I can get it (17) and she's worried about adhesions.

Hi Hannah. Yes endo can cause adhesions but so can surgery. If you haven't had surgery yet then it would be from the endo. The more surgeries you have the more chance of adhesions forming. Also some people are more prone to them than others. So it's a case of waking up the risks. You need to do what is best for you . Good luck.
