How to check for intestinal obstruction?
Generally, after the occurrence of intestinal obstruction, patients typically exhibit classic symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, and cessation of passing gas or stool. If this happens, the most routine hospital examination includes abdominal ultrasonography and plain abdominal radiographs. When necessary, during the treatment process, a more comprehensive abdominal enhanced CT may be needed, or even gastroscopy and colonoscopy, because identifying the cause of the intestinal obstruction is crucial for treatment. Addressing the cause can reduce the frequency of future intestinal obstructions. For adhesive obstructions caused by abdominal surgery, lifestyle and dietary habits are extremely important. Since adhesive obstructions cannot be completely resolved through surgery, adjustments in diet or lifestyle and behavior are essential to minimize recurrence.
