Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my question is abt adhesions. I have adhesions that have formed after various surgeries. My dr tried to do a colonoscopy and could not get threw the colon due to adhesions. He wants to have me have surgery to remove them. However, I think they will just come back even more. Also, my stomach seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Could this also be caused by the adhesions?? Thanks
HI Thank for asking to HCM I can understand your problem, the adhesions could not cause the abdominal distension, you have to find out the another cause for this but adhesion may not be the cause, dialated loops are the most common cause of abdominal distension, have words with your doctor, take care and have good day.
