If you fart, you don’t have intestinal adhesions?

Farting does not mean that there are no intestinal adhesions. Bowel adhesions are mainly caused by increased fluid and protein in the abdominal cavity causing adhesion bands, resulting in external adhesions between the bowel tubes or adhesions between the bowel tubes and other organs in the abdominal cavity, the peritoneum. If the symptoms of intestinal adhesions are mild, bowel movements are usually normal. Patients with intestinal adhesions will show symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, etc., and may have reduced anal defecation. That is to say, farting does not equal to the absence of intestinal adhesions. Bowel adhesion can easily lead to intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, intestinal necrosis and so on. Intestinal obstruction can be caused by a variety of causes, including intestinal adhesions, but after intestinal obstruction, no farting does not necessarily mean that intestinal adhesions are the cause. Most of the patients with intestinal adhesion can be treated conservatively by adjusting diet, changing lifestyle habits, taking medication, combined with gastrointestinal decompression. For the serious condition that develops into intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, intestinal necrosis, etc., it is necessary to combine the condition with the timely adoption of appropriate drug treatment and surgical treatment.
