Question: From Lisa: Who Can Get Adhesions?
Answer: From Gimppy
Adhesions tend to form in women and not in men. Although it can happen to a man, the odds are very low. For whatever reason, it seems to be a "woman" thing and not a "guy" thing.

Question: From Marie: How Do You Get Adhesions?
Answer: From Gimppy
Adhesions tend to follow Abdominal surgery. Usually a Hysterectomy or a Gaul Bladder removal. It can also follow from an Appendectomy as well. If there is "exposure" to air during a surgery such as a "C" section, Adhesions can form from this also.



Question: From Linda: What Stops Adhesions?
Answer: From Gimppy
There really is not to much that can be done about Adhesions in the United States at the moment, since our f.D.A. is still "testing" "SprayGel". A lot of women are trying to raise the money to go over seas and have the "SprayGel" surgery. So far, it seems to be the answer we have all been waiting for.It's now just a matter of "hurry up and wait" for approval.

Question: From Judy: Does Surgery Help?
Answer: From Gimppy
Surgery is an option, but you must remember something very important. The more surgeries you do, the more likely you are to have Adhesions come back and come back even bigger. Only do surgery if there is an obstruction, or the pain is just unbearable. It is very important to limit the surgeries that you have.
