368646 tn?1208393887 After brain surgery, I have a considerable amount of scar tissue as the base of my skull, causing more than a few problems. Besides Vitamin E, are there any herbs that will help break-up this tissue or am I stuck with massaging the area in hopes of a change? Thanks for your time!
607566 tn?1221252380 If you measure that scar next year, lets say, it may only be 5 ½ inches long. Well, scar tissue in the thyroid gland also wants to get smaller, but the thyroid gland sort of wraps around the windpipe and the esophagus to some degree. When this scar tissue undergoes contracture it can put pressure on those structures and produce what are called “compression symptoms”, that is, difficulty in breathing or swallowing.
Avatar f tn will I be left with this huge scar in my lip? Can a plastic surgeon remove this scar? If so, when do you recommend that I have a consult with a plastic surgeon? I feel like my bite is off because my lips no longer close naturally due to this large bump.
Avatar f tn but this are usually identified with biopsy, not imaging and they have nothing to do with scar tissue in the traditional sense. The new mammogram shows a density and calcifications which means it needs further investigation. Spot compression and ultrasound will assist with this. Regardless of what the "scar" comment meant, it would be important to follow up on the recommendation for further evaluation. We cannot speculate on what this might be without further evaluation.
Avatar n tn Hi Ummpi, Most medical issues get worse with age. I have massive adhesions (scar tissue). It's different with different ppl - and there is some controversy over long long adhesions form. What can occur is these adhesions become a part of our body. Other tissues grow into or on them, blood supply and a nerve network often form and the adhesion becomes an entity by itself. At least that's what's occurred in my situation. Obviously that can produce problems.

436469 tn?1248973845 I don't have scar tissue from my D & C, but make sure that you see a doctor who has performed a ton of corrective surgeries on post D & C patients. You want to make sure that they are super experienced. If I were in your position, I would "interview" the doctor and ask them how many patients they have performed this operation on and what is the doctor's success rate. I am soo sorry that this happened to you. Hopefully all will go well and you will heal nicely.

Avatar m tn They say in a few months if it still bothers me they will check for scar tissue i am always uncomfortable. I have checked many of the thyroid sights and have not seen anyone else complain about this.
Avatar f tn Recurrance is always in the back of my mind, but could this pain just be from scar tissue? I have also been told that part of the problem may be arthritis in the ribs caused by a previous fracture. I am currently taking Neurontin, which has helped tremendously, but I would like to know what type of complications scar tissue can cause and if this is solely the cause of my pain now, will it subside? Also, why does the pain come and go, flucuating in severity? Thanks for any info.
Avatar f tn I have a question about scar tissue build up in my stents. I have had 7 DES stents in the RCA bypass graft since August of 2009. How many times can you be restented and are there any other options? I am a 54 year female. I have been doing my best in following everything my cardiologist says to do, I am so dissapointed. Is there anything eles I can do? He changed me from Plavix w/ asprin to Effient 10mg w/ asprin. I am having slight symptoms again(left arm weakness upon exertion.
Avatar f tn Hello , I have my lip pierced it keeps getting scar tissue lumps inside of it, how can i prevent this from happening and how can I get the present lump to go away?
Avatar n tn I believe they do. I personally know that some can. I had a C-section delivery in 2000, and now 12 years after it, I still find that scar waking up occasionally, to feel so itchy and bothersome, that I tend to scratch at it, or end up just shaving the area to eliminate that factor. Try applying a moisturizing lotion for severe dry skin and see if that helps any. I know I have also tried Cornhuskers lotion, for really bad cases of it, and for calluses.
Avatar n tn I had a surgeon explain it to me like this ,,they go in try to clean up as much scar tissue as posible and their goal is that you or any patient would be 75% less scar tissue. A general surgeon could do this , as could your gyno or even a cosmetic surgeon which may be a good one to atlest interview..
Avatar n tn Hi .. did they say it could be scar tissue? I'm not sure except with a partial there is still thyroid lefton th eother side so the other side could maybe regenerate but I'm just guessing and really don't know. Did they suggest a CT Scan or MRI to further see if it is overgrowth, or scar tissue? I had a partial in 2007 also .. right side and still have a small 4.0 mm stable nodule on the other side and get an ultrasound ev 6 mos and now they say 1 yr cause it is stable.
Avatar f tn A friend had scar tissue causing extensive blockage in one fallopian tube. They ttc'ed for about a year and a half, went through several IUI cycles and were taking a break before starting another IUI when they got pg naturally - no drugs or anything. So - it can happen!

8459938 tn?1398212226 2- they now say my daughter has thickening around the thyroid causing size and its scar tissue they say isthmus thickness 0.2cm.. I am not so sure. I'm frustrated this has been a three year thing with Drs arguing to take it out. It says thicker wall and thicker septations compared to prior study. She also has developed in the left lobe another lesion measuring 2mm. So right lobe measures 4.8x1.2x1.6cm. My mom has had hers taken out as a teen her right side.
