Adhesions: Lysis of adhesions inevitably creates more adhesions. Surgery might be indicated if the pain is becoming intolerable or the adhesions affect bowel function.

Adhesions: I would try to avoid surgery as this usually causes more scar tissue. Try weight loss, meditations and massage for pain relief.

Not necessarily: 1. Adhesions don't always cause pain. 2. How do you know you have adhesions? 3. Adhesions don't always cause pain. 4. Adhesions will not show up on x-rays or ct. 5. I'd be hesitant to have a surgical procedure just "for adhesions" unless there is very strong clinical evidence they are causing a problem (such as intestinal obstruction), because… 6. Adhesions don't always cause pain.
