Could Distended Abdomen, Reflux With Being Loaded With Adhesions Mean Cancer?
I have a very distended abdomen. I have heart burn, reflux and may have esophageal spasms. I get pain with earting, sometimes have trouble swallowing. I had two ectopic pregnancies with four or more laparoscopies, & two laparotomies, endometriosis, and my doctor said I was loaded with adhesions . Are these conditions linked in any way? Could I have cancer of the stomach or esophagus? I just had some tests done.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
It is normal to have adhesion after ectopic pregnancy surgery or any other abdominal surgery.
So adhesion does not indicate cancer.
And reflux disease and heart burn are due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. This is also benign thing.
So no need to worry much for cancer.
