Gastric perforation has a good prognosis or even cured if it is treated actively, so it will not be fatal; if the condition is critical, it can be life-threatening, but death within a few days is not certain.
Gastric perforation is a rupture of the entire stomach wall caused by ulcers or inflammation, which can penetrate the abdominal cavity, and is a common surgical emergency, which may cause severe epigastric pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, and may lead to acute peritonitis, infectious shock, abdominal abscess and other complications.
Most of them can be cured after timely treatment with fasting and water, gastrointestinal decompression, pain relief and sedation, acid suppression, and active fluid rehydration, and generally have little effect on life expectancy.
However, if the disease is delayed and progresses rapidly, there may be infectious shock or even death, but how many days death will occur is often uncertain. If the corresponding symptoms appear, you need to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of a professional physician as soon as possible to avoid delays in the condition.
