Brief Answer:
Less likely to be any serious problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Adhesions can occur due to scar tissues which sort of form a band in the peritoneal cavity, however every scar tissue will not cause an adhesion.
Adhesions usually appear like a band which forms a constriction around the bowels and this can appear like a loculated fluid collection or a suspected comp,ex mass in the adnexa. Rarely such an adhesion can cause bowel obstruction.
It will help to view any images that you have from the ultrasound scan to confirm the findings.
In conclusion, there is no mention of any alarming findings which might require medical intervention as mentioned in the impression. Therefore there is no serious problems in your case.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
