Kenalog

[PaulSW]

I have had two surgeries now and have had scar tissue both times.

I am now thinking of kenalog injections but am not sure about the side effects.

After reading the other posts there are good reviews but no real bad ones.

I am interested in any experiences anyone can share any responses are much appreciated.

Kenalog is a potent steroid which is used for injection into scar tissue -- it "melts" it away.  It is not an anabolic steroid!

When properly used, kenalog can significantly improve any residual scar tissue from prior gyne surgery.  The surgeon must be skilled in its use and administration.  When used properly, there are no side effects.  In many cases, the proper use of kenalog can negate the need for revision surgery, when you are trying to excise scar tissue with the anticipation that the body will heal with more scar tissue.
