Does it hurt to lie down with intestinal adhesions?

Whether or not it hurts to lie down with intestinal adhesions depends on the nature and extent of the adhesions; if the adhesions inspire an obstruction, pain will occur either standing or lying down. Intestinal adhesions are mainly adhesions in the small intestine in the abdominal cavity, the most common are postoperative secondary intestinal adhesions, inflammation, bleeding and other secondary intestinal adhesions. Normal small bowel movement is somewhat impeded by intestinal adhesions, so when food enters the intestinal lumen it collects in the upper section of the adhesions and cannot pass through. Excessive contents in the upper section of the intestinal collaterals lead to intestinal distension, and the adhesions at the lower end of the collaterals will intensify accordingly at an acute angle, resulting in intestinal impassability. Severe cases can lead to localized intestinal paralysis and necrosis, at which time the pain is very severe. After the formation of intestinal adhesions, if there is a drastic change in body position, it is easy to form intestinal torsion, so intestinal adhesions secondary to obstruction, whether standing, lying down, there will be obvious pain.
