Lower abdominal distension may be due to colitis, intestinal obstruction, and intestinal paralysis. Usually, it can be treated with mesalazine, cefixime, scopolamine, domperidone and so on as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Colitis: When stimulated by inflammation of the colonic mucosa, it can lead to weakening of gastrointestinal peristalsis, decreased digestion and absorption of food, causing indigestion or constipation, resulting in lower abdominal distension. At this time, you can use mesalazine treatment, the drug can act directly on the inflammation of the mucosa of the colon, inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, so as to play an anti-inflammatory effect, alleviate the symptoms of lower abdominal distension.
2. Intestinal obstruction: mainly due to the accumulation of intestinal contents, the pressure in the intestinal tract increases, so it will lead to the symptoms of lower abdominal distension. Cefixime can be used to carry out anti-infection treatment, and scopolamine can also be used to relieve intestinal spasm and reduce the accumulation of intestinal contents, thus relieving the symptoms of lower abdominal distension.
3. Intestinal paralysis: Due to the existence of intestinal paralysis, the gas produced by the decomposition of food in the intestinal lumen can not be discharged from the anus through the peristalsis of the intestinal tract, which will result in the accumulation of gas in the intestinal lumen, thus causing the symptom of lower abdominal distension. Domperidone can be used for treatment, directly acting on the gastrointestinal wall, can promote peristalsis, speed up the digestion of food, thus alleviating the symptoms of lower abdominal distension.
If the patient has lower abdominal distension, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to identify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions according to the cause of the targeted medication.
