can a person have adhesion's inside the intestines?


Question:


Answers:
I think intestinal adhesion is a situation where intestinal walls have been damaged somehow and then heal so they're constricted or stuck together in a way that they shouldn't be - and then this can interfere with passage of food and cause pain. I think it's also possible for adhesion to occur between an intestine and some other organ in the abdomen. This could be a complication after injury or surgery.

Other Answers:
no


please elaborate on this question. Certain things can adhere to the intestinal lining like parisitic worms, polyps, and ulcerous lesions, is that what you mean?

I can't really help you with this question I think, but you shuld not put yoiur health in our hands, ask a docter.


Yes, a person sure can. Our intestines are lined with a substance called the peritoneum. There's a fluid between the layers of peritoneum which keeps those layers separated so they can slip easily back and forth. Sometimes, they stick together and cause problems in the intestines. These adhesions are what can cause pain and "normal functions" of the intestines.


The adhesions would not actually be inside of the intestines but outside. The inside of the intestines have a mucosal membrane which is not likely to adhese to anything. The outside of the intestines lie in the abdominal cavity and can be involved with adhesions. Adhesions can be caused by peritonitis which is infection of the abdominal cavity. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can both cause pelvic inflammatory disease resulting in adhesions. A ruptured appendix is another disorder that can result in intestinal adhesions.
