Intestinal obstruction usually cannot be cured on its own because the causes of intestinal obstruction usually cannot be relieved as well as removed on their own.
1. Intestinal obstruction caused by obstruction of blood flow in the intestinal tubes cannot be restored on its own without treatment, so medication or surgery is needed to unblock the mesenteric blood vessels.
2. Intestinal obstruction caused by adhesion after abdominal surgery, if not treated, the abdominal adhesion usually cannot recover by itself, so it needs to be loosened by surgical treatment.
3. Intestinal obstruction caused by intestinal torsion. If left untreated, the twisted intestinal collaterals usually cannot be repositioned on their own, so surgical treatment is needed to reset the intestinal collaterals.
Patients with intestinal obstruction cannot hope to recover on their own, as intestinal obstruction is an acute abdominal condition that can be life-threatening if delayed.
Patients with intestinal obstruction are advised to go to the hospital in time, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, and actively cooperate with the doctor for standardized treatment.
