A member asked:
What do abdominal adhesions feel like when you touch or rub your abdomen?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
"Untouchable": Adhesions are bands of scar tissue within your abdominal cavity, separated from your skin by your abdominal wall muscles. It is impossible to feel adhesions.

Not palpable: In general, you nor the physician can feel adhesions. They can be thick or filmy , small or relatively large but are within the abdominal cavity and deeper than one can feel.
