Some patients with intestinal obstruction can drink water, and some cannot, mainly depending on the type of intestinal obstruction, the severity of the disease, and the patient’s physical condition and other factors. If the intestinal obstruction is caused by fecal stone obstruction, and the patient has some exhaust, then you can drink a small amount of water, but you can’t drink too much water, otherwise it may lead to further aggravation of the obstruction. If the patient is a complete intestinal obstruction, he can’t drink water at this time, especially if he needs to have an operation, he can’t drink water 6-8 hours before the operation, and sometimes he needs gastrointestinal decompression. So whether you can drink water or not, you need to go to the general surgery department or gastroenterology department of the hospital as soon as possible, and you need to improve the relevant examinations, such as blood routine, abdominal CT, etc., and choose according to the doctor’s instructions, and you can’t drink water on your own to prevent the condition from worsening.
