A farting bowel obstruction means that the symptoms of the obstruction have been relieved, but it does not mean that the obstruction has been cured or that intestinal patency has been fully restored.
Farting is due to the production of gas from food in the intestines, and the gas is expelled through the anus. It should not be assumed that the patient’s symptoms of intestinal obstruction are completely relieved after passing gas; it may be that the obstruction improves or becomes an incomplete intestinal obstruction. Therefore, attention should be paid and treatment continued to observe whether the patient’s abdomen remains bulging, pain, vomiting, bloating, gas and other symptoms are relieved.
It can only be judged that the symptoms of intestinal obstruction have been relieved if the clinical symptoms are significantly reduced after the resumption of anal defecation and bowel movement, and if the abdominal standing plain film shows that the intestinal dilatation and the level of gas and fluid are reduced or disappeared.
The farting of intestinal obstruction means that the symptoms of intestinal obstruction have been relieved, and it is still necessary to continue to observe the condition and treat it under the guidance of the doctor.
