Intestinal paralysis is also known as anaerobic intestinal paralysis, paralytic intestinal obstruction, causes of intestinal paralysis are intestinal blood supply disorders, extra-intestinal diseases, abdominal surgery, etc., which are described as follows:
1. Disorders of intestinal blood supply, secondary to severe intra-abdominal infection, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, after major abdominal surgery, or blockage of intestinal blood supply by formation of blood clots in the abdominal vessels, atherosclerosis or intestinal arterial/vein injuries that cause intestinal blood supply disorders leading to intestinal paralysis.
2 Extra-intestinal disorders such as renal failure, pneumonia, pyothorax, hypothyroidism, ureteral colic, blood electrolyte abnormalities such as hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and certain medications can lead to intestinal paralysis.
3. 24 to 72 hours after abdominal surgery, there are often different degrees of intestinal paralysis.
Treatment should be directed at the causative cause of paralytic intestinal obstruction accordingly. Such as abdominal surgery or peritonitis caused by intestinal paralysis after gastrointestinal decompression, can make the condition greatly improved; renal colic given to antispasmodic and renal capsule around the closure, can make intestinal paralysis reduced. Other causes of intestinal paralysis will also improve when the cause is eliminated. It is recommended to seek medical attention when intestinal paralysis occurs.
