Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical condition. If the condition is mild and no intestinal necrosis, etc. occurs, conservative treatment can be chosen, and it usually returns to normal in about 7 days.
Intestinal obstruction is an obstacle to the passage of intestinal contents caused by a variety of reasons, and is commonly associated with post-surgical intestinal adhesions. Patients with intestinal obstruction can undergo conservative treatment, including water fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, laxative enema, intravenous nutrition and other treatments, and most patients can pass stools in 2-3 days and completely return to normal in about 1 week. However, some patients have no obvious effect through conservative treatment, and even show signs of intestinal necrosis, and need to take surgical treatment to release intestinal obstruction. Patients can remove the stitches about 1 week after surgery, and it takes about 2-3 weeks to fully recover, and patients should leave bed early to prevent re-occurrence of intestinal adhesions.
In addition, patients with intestinal obstruction should also pay attention to daily conditioning, eat less and eat more, avoid overeating, drink more water and take physical exercise appropriately.
