There is no quick way to pass gas after surgery. Generally, you can pass gas through hot compresses, rubbing the abdomen, early activities, drugs and other methods.
1. Hot compresses: hot towels can be used to apply hot compresses to the stomach and soles of the feet, which can stimulate gastrointestinal activity and promote gas evacuation.
2. Pressing and kneading the abdomen: patients can also press and knead the abdomen, gently press the abdomen clockwise with the hand, which can also promote the exhaust.
3. Early activity: Encourage the patient to move appropriately in the early postoperative period to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which can advance the time of exhaustion.
4. Medication: If the patient is unable to pass gas, he/she can also take medication such as Si Mu Tang under the guidance of the doctor to help regulate the function of the gastrointestinal tract and promote passing gas. If necessary, it can also be treated by enema, which can promote gas evacuation, soften feces and stimulate the intestinal tract.
Patients need to eat according to the doctor’s instructions after the operation, such as a large amount of food for a short period of time in the early postoperative period, which may cause intestinal obstruction and aggravate the burden on the intestinal tract.
