Pain: Scar tissue formation is very common after surgery. Sometimes, scar tissue (adhesions) will cause pain and other times will not. If you have no pain, then there is no need to do anything. However, scar tissue is less likely to form after vaginal hysterectomy than abdominal hysterectomy. Please see your doctor if you are having any issues.

Varies: Pain is the common presenting symptom of scar tissue. The pain may be progressive over time and could require additional surgery for definitive diagnosis and for treatment.

Pain: Pain with intercourse, pain with bowel movements, etc. The diagnosis of scar tissue can only be made by re-operating and confirming it...This is usually avoided because multiple surgeries can cause more scarring, which are called adhesions.

Varies: It would depend on where the scar tissue forms. Scar inside the vagina can cause pain and/or a narrowing or shorteneing of the vagina. Scar tissue inside the pelvis or abdomen can cause many different symptoms depending on which organs are involved (bowel, bladder, ovaries, ureters, etc).
