Bowel Syndrome - Symptoms and Treatment

Adhesive disease is a formation of connective tissue between internal organs, resulting in their splicing and displacement. The reasons for the formation of adhesions are several:

• mechanical injuries;
• surgical operations;
• acute and chronic infections;
• inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity;
• foreign bodies in the intestines, etc.

Symptoms and treatment of intestinal adhesions

With adhesions of the intestine, there is a splice between its parts. The main symptom of adhesive disease of the intestine is pain in the abdominal area due to the tension of the tissues. And the nature of the pain can be either gradually increasing, or sudden, sharp. In addition, when spikes are observed:

• flatulence , rumbling in the abdomen;
• disorders of the stool, especially constipation;
• vomiting.

In especially severe cases, there is tachycardia and a decrease in blood pressure.

In the early stages for the treatment of intestinal adhesions and the prevention of exacerbation, a course of physiotherapy (iontophoresis, applications of ozocerite and paraffin to the abdominal region, etc.) can be prescribed. Be sure to adhere to dietary nutrition with the exception of foods that cause increased gas production and strictly observe the time of food intake. It is also important to monitor the regularity of the stool, and, if necessary, take laxatives prescribed by a specialist.

Surgical intervention with adhesive intestinal obstruction

In the event that the patient is diagnosed with an adhesive disease, and, moreover, if a blood supply violation is expected, an urgent operation is needed to remove the obstruction in the intestine and restore the passage. There are the following surgical techniques:

1. Open surgery, when the surgeon makes a large incision, through which he makes all manipulations.
2. Video-assisted intervention with a small incision.
3. Laparoscopy, carried out through small punctures in the abdominal cavity.

To prevent the secondary formation of adhesive scars, the surgeon inserts a special substance into the abdominal cavity at the end of the operation, which does not allow contact, and, consequently, to re-grow previously affected areas.

To effectively treat postoperative adhesions, the functional rest of the intestine should be ensured. To this end:

1. A fractional food is introduced with the exception of coarse and fatty foods.
2. Set laxative and cleansing enemas.
3. With severe pain, spasmolytics and analgesics are used.
