A member asked:
I have just had a laproscopy where they found and treated quite a lot of endometriosis, i am concerned about adhesions forming - can i minimise risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not now : A patient can decrease adhesions during surgery by not smoking and by controlling their body weight and blood sugar (in diabetics). Other than that adhesions can be lessened with good surgical technique. Genetics and the type of surgery are the biggest factor.
