Abdominal Adhesions - After a hysterectomy 14 years ago for uterine cancer, I now have adhesions in?

They are bands of scars that form from the surgery, having your organs manipulated. They stick the organs in your belly together. They can cause bowel obstructions, and in this case it would be an emergency surgery. They are permanent. The cure and the cause are one and the same, that is to cut them. But then the surgery will again make more. I don't know what not exercising for 3 months is going to do. I think I'd see a specialist about it.

Yes, adhesions are scar tissue from the previous surgeries and like KM said, the only cure is to go in and cut them but this can lead to further scarring and more adhesions. They can be painful and problematic but like KM, I dont understand why he says no exercise for 3 months? I dont see what kind of effect he thinks this will have unless the adhesions are compressing or pulling on an organ and he plans to do surgery and doesnt want you to exercise until then or perhaps his thought is he thinks the exercise is making the adhesions worse but I'm not sure I would agree with that theory.

I have abdominal adhesions, which returned again after an operation. I exercise nearly every day, from running to high impact aerobics. I also have sports massages on my stomach which really helps with the pain and the bloating. I also find that stretching really helps.

I have had adhesions for 35+ years after 5 major abdominal surgeries. With each surgery, the doctor would remove as many of the adhesions as he could, but, naturally, they would re-form. I was very active (I was a correctional officer) and exercised every day, including weight training until 10 years ago. Unless your doctor knows that you have adhesions that would cause a problem with exercise, I don't understand his no exercise for 3 months statement. I agree with the others that you should get a second opinion. But, Jackie, you are entitled to full explanations from your doctor. That is what he is being paid for. If he is making a "blanket" statement about exercise, ask him to focus only on you and what you can/cannot do. We do not pay these doctors for generalized answers. We want specifics about our own cases. Best wishes for good health.
