i had a few surgerys and lately i have been getting lots of abd pain... i had a ct scan done to check for hernias or tumors since i had them quite a few times and had them removed. Dr told me that you can see adhesions on the ct scan.... i have diabetes and im a little worried, because he stated that he would have to do another surgery so that the abd pain can get relieved. is that true that you cant see the adhesions on the ct scan?
Hi. The adhesions can be seen on the CT Scan if they are well-formed. The secondary effects of adhesions in the form of intestinal obstruction with proximal dilated bowel loops can be nicely seen. Diabetes has to be under control and well managed for the best outcome of any treatment. I would suggest to under Enterocytes as it is better than CT scan and Ultrasonography to see the intestinal obstruction, kinking and so on. You may then definitely go for the next surgery as advised to you. Internal hernia can also give the similar symptoms but will be different on CT or Enterocolitis.
