Symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction

Abdominal pain: pain is the most common case of intestinal obstruction. The nature of pain in patients is different, and the location of intestinal obstruction is also different. Especially for patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction in the later stage of intestinal obstruction, it can be observed that the nature of pain in patients is paroxysmal colic to persistent abdominal pain, which needs timely treatment.

Vomiting: after the occurrence of intestinal obstruction, because of the retrograde peristalsis of the intestines, it will cause the reflux of the contents. Therefore, in general, especially for the patients with low intestinal obstruction, there will be fecal vomiting materials, because bacteria breed and decompose the intestinal contents. The vomiting of patients with high intestinal obstruction is not obvious.

Abdominal distension: abdominal distension often appears in late stage, especially for patients with high intestinal obstruction. In general, ileocecal valve is the main cause of colon obstruction, and reflux rarely occurs. Obstruction is often closed loop, so abdominal distension is obvious.
