I had many tests to find the source and was eventually told I had a hiatus hernia and was given medication. I continued taking the medication for a few years and the pains went away.
The pains then returned worse than ever at the start of this year so I went to have it re-investigated. I was then given exploratory surgery and the surgeon found a very large adhesion connecting my lower bowel to my stomach. I however only assumed that adhesions occur AFTER surgery.
To get to the point I would like to know how it is possible for adhesions to occur naturally and how often does it happen?
