Adhesions

Having had a hysterectomy many years ago, I now find I have several adhesions. Can these be treated?

Re: Adhesions

Only usually by further surgery to divide them. However with further surgery comes the risk of further adhesions. Hence we usually only operate if women have lots of symptoms.
