Has anyone had notes saying
tethering ??
adhesions
on ovaries and also previous endometriosis showing that caused tethering
Hope this won't cause any problems
anyone else had this ?
Hi mollysue
I had an earlier CT scan due to stomach pains but thankfully there was no active cancer found on the scan. The oncologist thinks the pain was caused by adhesions (tethering is the same thing, I think). He suggested taking a stool softener medication to ease bowel motions. Adhesions are caused by scar tissue, whereby tissues or organs stick together.
