Please set me straight on adhesions

I thought adhesions only grew the firtst 7 days after surgery?? They start out pliable and then tighten up and shrink which is the onset of the pain. Do they multiply or continue to grow?? I guess I thought once they reached the 7 day growth, they were done growing?? How then do they obstruct a bowel or continue to weave themselves among other organs?? They sound alot like endometreosis??This has really been quite an education, as others have stated, no one shared any info on adhesions prior to my surgery. Thanks again for all this unbelievable information. God bless.
