Patient's question:
Hello! My father has intestinal obstruction after undergoing radical surgery for prostate cancer. He experiences abdominal pain and bloating. After taking medication to induce bowel movement, he can only drink a little soup, and then he feels bloated and painful again. How should this situation be resolved?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain the issue for you. Based on your description, for the case of intestinal obstruction you mentioned, it's best to have a re-examination! I suggest you go to the general surgery department of a local hospital for a follow-up check-up! Have an abdominal scan to determine if it's a high or low intestinal obstruction! If it's low, it can be treated through the rectum! You can also have a CT scan! In addition to active treatment, patients with prostatic hyperplasia need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease.
