Patient's question:
My son used to have an inguinal hernia surgery, and after that, he often experienced abdominal pain symptoms that were difficult to relieve. After checking at the hospital, it was discovered that there was intestinal adhesion. How is pediatric intestinal adhesion treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the child's hernia, intestinal adhesion recurrence occurred. Intestinal adhesion is a common complication after abdominal surgery. When intestinal adhesion forms, in addition to congenital causes, intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal trauma, bleeding, infection, foreign body stimulation, and other stimuli can also cause intestinal adhesion. Patients often have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and severe intestinal obstruction. Intestinal adhesion is generally treated conservatively, including fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, intravenous supplementation, and maintaining water and electrolyte balance. Usually, dietary regulation should be noted, eating less and more frequently, and avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Conservative treatment generally can be effective, and the prognosis is good.
