Other Name: Abdominal Adhesions
It is a Digestive Disease

Intestinal adhesions are bands of fibrous tissue that can connect the loops of the intestines to each other, or the intestines to other abdominal organs, or the intestines to the abdominal wall. These bands can pull sections of the intestines out of place and may block passage of food. Adhesions are a major cause of intestinal obstruction.

Adhesions may be present at birth (congenital) or may form after abdominal surgery or inflammation. Most form after surgery. They are more common after procedures on the colon, appendix, or uterus than after surgery on the stomach, gall bladder, or pancreas. The risk of developing adhesions increases with the passage of time after the surgery.

Symptoms
Some adhesions will cause no symptoms. If the adhesions cause partial or complete obstruction of the intestines, the symptoms one would feel would depend on the degree and the location of the obstruction. They include crampy abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, an inability to pass gas, and constipation.

Diagnosis
X rays (computed tomography) or barium contrast studies may be used to locate the obstruction. Exploratory surgery can also locate the adhesions and the source of pain.

Treatment
Some adhesions will cause no symptoms and go away by themselves. For people whose intestines are only partially blocked, a diet low in fiber, called a low-residue diet, allows food to move more easily through the affected area. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the adhesions, reposition the intestine, and relieve symptoms. But the risk of developing more adhesions increases with each additional surgery.

Some adhesions will cause no symptoms and no need to treat. For people whose intestines are only partially blocked, a diet low in fiber, called a low-residue diet, allows food to move more easily through the affected area. GI is often used to reduce pressure of intestine.In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the adhesions, reposition the intestine, and relieve symptoms. But the risk of developing more adhesions increases with each additional surgery.

Intestinal Adhesions(Abdominal Adhesions) can be treated, but they can be a recurring problem. Because surgery is both the cause and the treatment, the problem can keep returning. For example, when surgery is done to remove an intestinal obstruction caused by adhesions, adhesions form again and create a new obstruction in 11% to 21% of cases.

In China,doctors usually use Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) to treat patients and achieve good effect.

My name is Marvis Steverson and I've been suffering pain with my intestinal adhesions from my surguries for a bowel obstruction in 1984, which they operated on my ileus,duodenum,and jejunum. In 1996 I had a partial hystorecotomy,and in 2004 I was hospitalized for divertialites for 5 days.Since then October 2009 was hospitalized 5 days for partial bowel obstruction.Now I can't eat regular foods,I get bloated,nausea,constipated and the doctors advise me not to have but I think it will at least free my bowel to move around. I constantly feel tugging and pulling in my intestines and I'm tired of living like thisI

Living in Alicante for a couple of years now, from Ireland. Let me tell you that when I moved here first I had severe bowel problems, first one way and then the other. Now I drink Lemon Juice, mixed with plenty of water and I have no more problems…hydration is one of the keys.

I had been diagnosed with Crohns in 1989, and since then had 2 bowel resections. In addition to that I had my gall bladder, appendix, uterus, and ovaries removed. Needless to say that I now have MAJOR PAIN due to the adhesiions that since formed. In between all these surgeries, were other minor surgeries, In total I've had 14 surgeries! I go through ALOT OF PAIN WHEN THE CROHNS FLARES UP. Yet, some Doctors look at you as if all you want is DRUGS!! Some of these Doctors should take the time to look at your file before they label a person. Also NATIONALITY plays a BIG part of that in my city!!
