Is slight intestinal obstruction dangerous

summary

Slight intestinal obstruction is a kind of disease caused by a variety of factors. This disease comes and goes quickly. There are many reasons for this disease. Sometimes it is caused by unclean diet. Therefore, we must pay attention to food hygiene. Let's share the common problem of whether slight intestinal obstruction is dangerous or not!

Is slight intestinal obstruction dangerous

First: some people with intestinal obstruction are difficult to cure, mainly because they usually have slight abdominal distension, especially low abdominal distension, sometimes even abdominal pain, but in this case, the patient did not actively go to the hospital for examination, did not actively do treatment, so that the condition of intestinal obstruction has been mistaken again and again, which makes the treatment of this disease more difficult .

Second: the most common cause of intestinal obstruction is intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal infection. It can also be caused by mesenteric ischemia, arterial or venous injury, retroperitoneal or intraperitoneal hematoma, and after abdominal surgery. It is also related to renal or thoracic diseases and metabolic disorders (such as hypokalemia).

Third: the movement disorder of stomach and colon after abdominal operation is mainly caused by hand operation in abdomen, and the small intestine is not affected. The movement and absorption of stomach and colon can return to normal within a few hours after operation. Gastric emptying disorder can be up to 24 hours, but colonic weakness can be up to 48-72 hours. This phenomenon has been confirmed by the abdominal X-ray taken every day after the operation. It shows that the gas accumulates in the colon, but not in the small intestine. The recovery of cecal activity preceded that of sigmoid colon. If there is gas accumulation in the small intestine, it indicates the occurrence of complications (such as obstruction, peritonitis).

matters needing attention

For patients with minor intestinal obstruction, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid other types of diseases, pay attention to food hygiene, and wash hands before and after meals. Don't eat too greasy food, don't drink cold water, and avoid oranges. Usually more exercise, enhance resistance and immunity.
