Well if the scar tissue builds up enough it could cause a bowel obstruction. If you start to have bowel problems such as"going",nausea, vomiting, fever etc. then I would suggest you talk with your doctor. Bowel obstructions are nothing to mess with.

Ultrasound, MRI and/or CT scan can be helpful in detecting the post-op adhesions, but the gold standard for both diagnosis and treatment would be laparoscopy, in which the adhesions can be taken down. If left untreated, they may or may not increase and become more painful; in some cases, even bowel obstructions, organ torsion and excruciating pain have resulted due to pelvic adhesions. If it's not bothering you at this time, there is probably no reason to rush into surgery, but it can be comforting and helpful at guiding your treatment if you can obtain a non-invasive diagnosis and at least rule out other things that might be causing your symptoms. If it is painful and you don't feel your doctor is doing enough to help you, see someone else who will. Good look and feel better.
