I just thought of some other information about endometriosis and adhesions.
** Endometriosis can be microscopic!!
** This disease can be hidden beneath adhesions - out of the view of the surgeon.
** Unless all diseased tissue is removed, endometriosis can flare up again!!
** Not every surgeon has the training to recognize and excise endometriosis - so it is very important to find a surgeon who specializes in endometriosis.
