The kernel of a plum swallowed into the stomach may be excreted from the intestine without any problem, or it may cause serious adverse effects such as perforation of the gastrointestinal tract or intestinal obstruction.
1. Smooth expulsion from the intestinal tract: the kernel of a plum swallowed into the stomach will not be digested by the stomach, and may be expelled from the intestinal tract along with other food residues, without causing other adverse effects.
2. Gastrointestinal perforation: swallowing plum kernels into the stomach may cause gastrointestinal mucosal damage, which in serious cases may lead to gastrointestinal perforation, causing abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding and other symptoms.
3. Intestinal obstruction: the kernel of plum can not be discharged in the intestines, embedded in the intestines, resulting in food residues can not be discharged from the intestines, causing stagnation of food residues in the intestines, causing abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Those who swallowed plum kernels into the stomach with serious symptoms should go to the hospital in time and get timely treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
