Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of infantile small intestinal necrosis?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis is a disease that causes diffuse or localized necrosis of the small intestine and colon due to various factors that damage the intestinal mucosa, leading to ischemia and hypoxia. The main clinical manifestations of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis are abdominal distension, vomiting, and hematochezia. It occurs in 90% of premature infants. Recommendation: Surgery is the best method. During the fasting period after surgery, intravenous nutrition should be provided to maintain energy and electrolyte balance. Attention should be paid to monitoring the infant and preventing infection.
