Peritoneal adhesions after Hysteractomy Posted: 06-28-07 04:33am
What can I do to help the pain and
adhesions from returning? Are there any
remedies, herbal or otherwise, that can
help the stomach and back pain and the
adhesions from returning? The pain gets
so bad that I keep having to have these
operations to remove adhesions (using
method 'harmonic scapel'). This will be
my 6th operation. Is there any exercises
or physical or mental things I can do to
help? Thanks for your time. Regards.
Lyn.

Peritoneal adhesions are post operative
complications experienced from your first
operation-a hysterectomy. Some people are
susceptible to developing peritoneal
adhesions in the abdominal cave. The
reasons for developing such peritoneal
adhesions are unknown. Peritoneal
adhesions could be very dangerous because
the intestines can stack around them
(volvulus) and cause strangulation ileus
which is a life threatening condition.
There is no way that you can prevent
adhesion occurrence. You can only heal the
adhesions to prevent ileus with
laparoscopic interventions.
