fibrin

[Guest guest]

I must have more fibrin than normal in my system. The last two surgeries

that I've had (a cyst last year and a cyst several years ago) healed very

fast. Both surgeons commented on how fast I healed and, last year, the

doctor also said that I had more scar tissue than normal.

 

With my prior cyst, I had this huge wound. (It was one of those cysts you

get right above the buttocks, at the base of the spine.) The surgeon said

that he'd never seen anyone recover as fast as I did.

 

At the time, I was glad that I healed quickly but now I hear it's not good

to have too much fibrin in one's system. What can I take to balance things

out and reduce the fibrin?
