Dear Helen
"Many thanks for this. Please post my reply.
"Adhesions probably do not continue to grow (i.e. to spread). Once they have formed, there should be no reason for them to spread, unless there is further insult to the area (e.g. continued infection, endometriosis, more surgery, cancer etc.)
"They will probably "harden", or more correctly "toughen" - becuase what started out as flimsy adhesions may progress to more fibrous "grisle" adhesions. Why some people may take years to show problems due to adhesions is unknown."
