No. Scar tissue can result from a myriad of causes, including surgery to treat endometriosis. The tissue in endo adhesions resembles the endometrium, the lining of the uterus that sheds and causes bleeding every month, and responds to the same hormones as the endometrium, usually causing an increase in pain during a woman's period.

Is endometriosis and scar tissue the same thing?

Without even bothering to google it for you, I can safely say "no," because something that ends in -osis is going to some sort of a process, and "scar tissue" is not a process. However, they still may be related. Who knows? Google it and find out.


What are the dangers of endometriosis?

Endometriosis may lead to internal bleeding, breakdown of the blood and tissue from lesions and inflammations. Eventually, this can cause pain, infertility, scar tissue formation, adhesions and many other problems. You can always find more information related to Endometriosis on the link provided below.

Umbilical hernia endometriosis?

Endometrial tissue lines the uterus. Each month, in tune with the menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens and is shed during menstruation. If you have endometriosis, it means that the same kind of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing in other parts of your body, usually in the abdomen. This can cause scar tissue to build up around your organs. Endometriosis may cause severe pain and abnormal bleeding, usually around the time of your period. Pain during intercourse is another common symptom. However, it is possible to have endometriosis and not have any symptoms. Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility(inability to get pregnant). Often it is not diagnosed until a woman has trouble getting pregnant.


Is scar tissue painful?

Generally no, but sometimes it can be. It depends on the location of the scar tissue. If it is in a sensitive area, then it may be painful at times, but only slightly. If you are experiencing a lot of pain associated with scar tissue, you should have it checked for infection by a doctor. He or she will prescribe you antibiotics to kill off the infection. This is also true if you are experiencing any type of fever concurrently. Scar tissue from endometrial implants from endometriosis can be rather painful also. This is one example of sensitive scar tissue that can cause pain and requires additional medication to control, including pain medication to relieve the pain. Endometriosis cannot be cured, but it can be managed to a degree through medication and surgeries. Scar tissue associated with post-surgery should not be painful after the surgery heals. If it is painful, this is a prime culprit of infection and needs to be evaluated by your doctor at a follow-up appointment or a quick visit to the ER.

Can you get your belly button repierced if you have scar tissue?

Go ask your piercer about it. Some piercers do and others don't. A lot of those that do use a larger gauge needle to removed the scar tissue at the same time that they pierce your navel. I heard that piercing scar tissue hurts more so be prepared :3


does it hurt to get your belly button redone in the same spot?

It depends on how much scar tissue you have. Scar tissue can be tougher to pierce, and depending on where it is, you might have to pierce around it. I've never been pierced through scar tissue, but its generally considered to be more painful and can be harder to heal. Everyone's different though!
