Do I need treatment for abdominal adhesions?

Most adhesions cause no symptoms and don’t require any therapy at all.

Additional surgeries will only cause more adhesions. For that reason, your healthcare provider likely will try to avoid surgery, unless blockages keep causing symptoms.

For adhesions causing obstructions, either acute (complete blockage) or chronic (repeated attacks that go away on their own), surgical removal of the scar tissue may be the only option.
