==The difference== | |||
The <b>fusion</b> with which one is born has a synechial membrane between the [[glans penis]] and the [[foreskin]]. The synechial membrane breaks down with increasing maturity and releases the foreskin, so that it can be retracted and have [[gliding action]]. Fusions are normal and healthy. | |||
The <b>adhesion</b> forms when two raw tissues heal together. There is no synechial membrane to dissolve and release the connection. The adhesion is pathological and requirs a surgeon to separate the adhesed tissue. | |||
