Patient's question:
Great doctors, I have a question today, which is about the treatment for pyloric obstruction. Because I always have difficulty defecating, not particularly smoothly, I want to find out the cause and also look into the best way to treat it. Thank you for your reply, it is very important to me.Doctor's answer:
The pylorus is the lower end of the stomach, where it meets the duodenum. If the pylorus is obstructed or narrowed, the stomach contents cannot pass smoothly into the intestine, leading to significant retention of chyme in the stomach. This can cause inflammation, edema, and erosion of the gastric mucosa. Patients with pyloric obstruction may also experience nausea and vomiting, and constipation may also be one of the symptoms. Diagnosis can be confirmed through careful X-ray examination or endoscopic examination. Generally, the treatment involves endoscopic surgery to remove the obstruction.
