How long does it take to treat bowel obstruction non-surgically

Non-surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction usually takes about 1 to 4 weeks. If the disease is serious, non-surgical treatment usually cannot achieve the goal of cure, and it is recommended that the patient seek timely medical treatment and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor. If the patient is detected and diagnosed in the early stage of the disease, it is usually an incomplete intestinal obstruction, which can be cured in about 1 to 4 weeks through gastrointestinal decompression, dietary restriction, and intravenous fluids. If the patient’s condition is more serious and belongs to complete intestinal obstruction, the effect of non-surgical treatment is usually poorer, and it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment through surgery. Non-surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction usually takes about 1 to 4 weeks, and patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as they notice uncomfortable symptoms to avoid aggravation of their condition.
