Hey there, I beleive that adhesions are formed from active endo implants within the abdomen, and then they can heal. What happened to the original factor causing the adhesions is a mystery though. As far as the biopsy goes, tissue is removed and tested for endo cells, if none are found then no active endo is reportable. Although, it can be hidden within tissue itself and very difficult to locate. I have also been told that match head spots of endo can cause massive amounts of pain.

Advice, get another opinion if you are not satisfied with what is being done. And my favorite, go to an east/west clinic and try some alternative therapies!!!

Cheers, Karen McNolty
