Explanation

Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form between internal organs, often as a result of surgery or injury. They can cause organs that are normally separate to stick together. This can lead to discomfort, pain, or even serious health problems if the adhesions interfere with the normal functioning of the organs. Adhesions can occur anywhere in the body, but are most common in the abdomen, heart, and lungs.
