In general, eating will aggravate the condition of patients with intestinal obstruction.
1. Eating will accelerate intestinal peristalsis in patients with intestinal obstruction, and intestinal peristalsis stops in the manifestation of intestinal obstruction itself. So after eating, it will increase the burden of intestinal tract and cause intestinal necrosis, which will aggravate the condition.
2. Typical symptoms of intestinal obstruction are abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, stopping defecation and gas evacuation, etc. Generally, these discomforts will be aggravated after eating.
It is generally recommended that patients with intestinal obstruction should abstain from food and water until the obstruction is relieved. During this period, the patient’s nutrition and fluid supply is supplemented by parenteral nutrition.
If patients find intestinal obstruction, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
