Adhesions
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between internal organs or tissues that are normally not joined, often after surgeries, inflammation, or infections in the abdomen or other areas.
How they may present: many times they cause no discomfort, but occasionally they cause pain, a feeling of tightness, or changes in the function of the affected organs.
Contributing factors: a history of surgery, inflammatory processes, and certain internal infections.
Which specialist treats it? Depending on the affected area, they are assessed by the general surgeon or specialists such as the gastroenterologist or the gynecologist, with initial guidance from the general practitioner. If you have persistent pain after a previous surgery, it is worth having it reviewed by a professional who can study your case.
