adhesions
Scar tissue links
Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between internal organs or tissues, causing them to stick together abnormally.
They typically develop after surgery, infection, or inflammation in the abdominal or pelvic cavity.
Adhesions can cause chronic pain, bowel obstruction, or fertility problems: She needed surgery to remove adhesions from a previous operation.
The singular adhesion refers to the process of sticking together or a single band of such tissue.
