Symptoms of intestinal obstruction and obstruction

Abdominal mass can often touch the corresponding abdominal mass in intestinal obstruction caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, gallstones, intussusception or colon cancer; In closed loop ileus, the distended segment with tenderness may sometimes be touched.

Abdominal distension is more common in the late stage of low intestinal obstruction. Closed loop ileus often has asymmetric local expansion, while paralytic ileus has obvious abdominal expansion. Before abdominal palpation, it is best to auscultate the abdomen for a few minutes.

Bowel sounds (or peristaltic sounds) are hyperactive or disappear in the early stage of mechanical intestinal obstruction. When colic occurs, hyperactive bowel sounds can often be heard at the site of obstruction, such as a burst of dense air and water. When the intestinal cavity is obviously dilated, the peristaltic sound can be a high tone metallic sound. When paralytic ileus or mechanical ileus complicated with peritonitis, the peristaltic sound was extremely reduced or completely disappeared.

matters needing attention

The most important thing is to have regular physical examination, especially blood test, gastrointestinal endoscopy and other items, which is helpful for early detection of intestinal tumor, early treatment and prevention of tumor intestinal obstruction.
