Can a stomach perforation come back after it’s healed?

In most cases, stomach perforations are less likely to recur when they are healed, but there is a possibility of recurrence. Generally speaking, if gastric perforation is properly taken care of after surgery and diet is paid attention to, the possibility of recurrence is relatively small. However, if the patient does not eat properly after surgery, such as overeating, eating greasy, spicy and irritating food, it may lead to stomach damage and recurrence. Recurrence may also occur when the stomach wound heals poorly due to various factors during or after surgery, and when infection occurs. When patients experience strong abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting after surgery, it is recommended that they seek medical attention for review, which may be a symptom of recurrence. It is recommended that after gastric perforation treatment surgery, patients should have a regular diet, improve their living habits, and have a liquid or semi-liquid diet at the early stage of recovery, which is helpful for the recovery of the condition and reduces the possibility of postoperative recurrence. It is recommended that after gastric perforation surgery, patients should go to the hospital in time for checkups when they feel unwell, so as to clarify the cause of the problem and then deal with it accordingly.
