" Question: Recently I've been having abdominal pain, cramping and some diarrhea. I underwent a colon X-ray, CT scan and other tests to identify the cause of my problems. My doctor tells me that adhesions resulting from my abdominal surgery about seven years ago are responsible for the pain I experience. I hope you can tell me what an adhesion is, why it happens, why it hurts and how long after surgery it can occur?

" Answer: I think the simplest answer to "what an adhesion is" can be taken from my American Heritage Dictionary that defines it as: "A condition in which bodily tissues that are normally separate grow together." But I think it will take a bit more information to answer the "why" part of your question.
