First: the current symptoms may still be insufficient gastrointestinal peristalsis, caused by flatulence, so it is necessary to take some drugs to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. At present, mosapride can be taken, and acupuncture and intermediate frequency treatment can be carried out at the same time. Enema can be used when necessary to promote intestinal peristalsis and improve symptoms.

Second, the colon can absorb water and nutrients and store stool. If the colon is removed, the intestinal water can not be absorbed again, resulting in diarrhea. Feces can not be stored, resulting in a large number of stools.
