Volvulus is a disease that we may know very little about in our lives, but knowing about a condition is a way to protect ourselves. Volvulus can affect your internal organs and cause your life to be affected, so today we are going to talk about the symptoms and examination methods of Volvulus. Symptoms Seeing a mass in the area from the umbilicus to the lower part of the heart, as large as an arm, which does not heal for a long time, causing distress and restless sleep. (Nangjing – 56 difficulties) The lower abdomen is hard and full, with a mass outside the abdominal cavity and stomach, which does not move when pushed, with pus and blood stasis inside, pain around the umbilicus, swelling of the body, swelling of the lower limbs, and avoiding cutting and pressing. (Suwen – Treatise on the abdomen) In the area under the heart and chest, it can ascend and descend, sometimes spitting blood (Ling Shu – Chapter on the shape of the disease in the internal organs of evil qi). Examination Blood tests: anemia, leukocytosis, accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc. are common. Stool examination: occult blood test is often positive, or increased fat content is seen, etc. Barium X-ray examination: segmental distribution of intestinal lesions, widening, flattening or even disappearance of intestinal mucosal folds are seen; linear ulcers, pebble signs and polyp-like changes may be present. The degree of intestinal stenosis varies, and the intestinal canal is stiff with thread-like signs. Proximal to the lesion: the intestinal canal has dilatation and fluid accumulation. Colonoscopy: mucosal congestion, edema, ulcers of various sizes, narrowing of the intestinal lumen, intestinal pouch changes, pseudopolyp formation and pebble-like mucosal phase were seen. There were also cleft grooves and round ulcers, and the mucosa between the diseased intestinal segments was normal. Biopsy may reveal submucosal microgranulomas and fibrous tissue hyperplasia.

After reading the above information, you have mastered the knowledge of another disease. It is beneficial but not harmful, especially for young people, because volvulus disease occurs mostly in young people. For those unfortunate enough to suffer from this disease there is no need to be afraid, but to follow the doctor’s advice and scientific treatment. Finally, I wish patients with Volvulus disease a speedy recovery.
