Adhesions – Understanding, Symptoms & Treatment Options

Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between internal organs and tissues. In the context of gynecology, adhesions often develop in the pelvic area—especially around the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures. These adhesions can cause organs that are usually separate to stick together, leading to pain, infertility, and other health problems.

Dr. Vatsal Thakral, a leading gynaecologist and expert in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgeries in Gurgaon, offers advanced, minimally invasive treatment for adhesions with a strong focus on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving fertility outcomes.

What Causes Pelvic Adhesions?

Gynecological adhesions can develop due to several reasons, including:

  • Previous surgeries (such as cesarean delivery, appendectomy, or pelvic surgery)
  • Infections (pelvic inflammatory disease)
  • Endometriosis
  • Tubal infections or ruptured ectopic pregnancy
  • Radiation therapy or trauma

These adhesions can affect fertility and cause discomfort depending on their location and severity.

Common Symptoms of Pelvic Adhesions

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Infertility or difficulty conceiving
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Pain during ovulation
  • Bowel discomfort if intestines are involved

Sometimes, adhesions may not cause noticeable symptoms but can still interfere with reproductive organs and require surgical attention.

How Are Adhesions Diagnosed?

Adhesions are not easily visible through ultrasound or physical exams. In most cases, they are confirmed through diagnostic laparoscopy—a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows direct visualization of the abdominal and pelvic organs using a small camera.

Treatment Options Available

1. Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis

Laparoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing and treating pelvic adhesions. During this procedure, Dr. Vatsal Thakral uses advanced laparoscopic instruments to carefully cut and remove the scar tissue without damaging the surrounding organs.

2. Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis

If the adhesions are inside the uterine cavity (also called intrauterine adhesions or Asherman’s syndrome), hysteroscopy is used. A thin camera is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and the scar tissue is removed without any external cuts.
