What are the symptoms of intestinal adhesions?

Intestinal adhesions can cause abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, cessation of bowel movements, cessation of defecation, and fever. Intestinal adhesions are directly related to abdominal infections and abdominal surgery, which can lead to adhesions between the intestinal tubes and the intestinal canal, or with the peritoneum, thus affecting the peristaltic function of the intestine. Many people suffer from the disease because of inflammation of the intestine, which can cause irritation of the smooth muscle of the intestinal wall and can be accompanied by abdominal pain. During an attack of intestinal adhesions, the peristaltic movement of the intestine is restricted, and the expulsion of gas from the intestine is affected, resulting in a feeling of abdominal distension. In some people, intestinal obstruction occurs when intestinal adhesions are present, and the inability to excrete the contents of the intestine affects the elimination of food from the stomach, resulting in nausea and vomiting. When intestinal adhesions lead to complete intestinal obstruction, the passage of gas and bowel movements will stop because the contents cannot pass. Longer duration of intestinal adhesions leads to necrosis of the intestinal canal, which affects the body’s immunity and causes fever.
