Intestinal adhesions usually do not recover on their own. Some patients have no obvious symptoms and can be observed. However, most patients have poor results with conservative treatment and require surgical treatment.
Intestinal adhesions are usually secondary to abnormal changes in the abdominal cavity, such as inflammation, surgery, foreign bodies, etc. Generally, this condition will basically disappear in about six months, but the specific situation varies from person to person. For example, if the symptoms of adhesions are more severe in scarred people, they need to go to the general surgery or gastroenterology department of the hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the degree of adhesions. If the symptoms are mild, conservative treatment, such as taking some intestinal lubricants, can be performed. If the symptoms are more severe, treatment by surgical methods is required. However, surgery for intestinal obstruction due to intestinal adhesions is not effective, and the patient is likely to develop adhesions again.
Patients with intestinal adhesions need to pay special attention to their diet. It is recommended to eat fine, soft, easily digestible food and avoid barbecue, fried, hard, sticky, hard-to-digest food and nutty food as much as possible.
