Intestinal obstruction is caused by various triggers, resulting in blockage, distortion or compression of the intestinal cavity, that is, non-passage, and an obstructive symptom called intestinal obstruction. The common clinical manifestations of intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, as well as vomiting, anal stopping defecation exhaustion these four major symptoms.
1, abdominal pain: paroxysmal colic, 6-10 minutes an attack, the abdomen can hear the sound of gas over water during the attack, the pain relief between attacks. Each attack lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes.
2, abdominal distension: mostly in the late stage, high small bowel obstruction is less common than low bowel obstruction. Low intestinal obstruction has less reflux because of the presence of the ileocecal valve, and the obstruction is often closed collaterals with obvious abdominal distension. In strangulated intestinal obstruction, the abdomen is asymmetrically distended and the enlarged intestinal collaterals can be felt.
3, vomiting: after the occurrence of obstruction, the reverse peristalsis of the intestinal tube causes the patient to vomit. At first, the vomit is the food eaten, and slowly the vomit will be accompanied by yellow bile. Vomiting in high intestinal obstruction occurs early and frequently. Low intestinal obstruction vomiting appears later, and the vomit has a fecal-like smell.
4.Anal discharge and defecation stop: complete obstruction is complete intestinal inaccessibility, stomach pain, no stool and anal discharge for three to five consecutive days. Incomplete obstruction has the manifestation of distension and pain, fine stool, and small amount of stool.
If a child has these symptoms, he or she must be sent to the doctor in a timely manner, intestinal obstruction can not delay treatment, if the condition is serious or even threaten the life of the child. If the severe obstruction is serious, there will be no vomiting, no obvious abdominal pain and other typical symptoms, we must pay great attention to it.
