Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What is intestinal torsion syndrome?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned, intestinal volvulus, is a type of emergency surgical condition. Most patients with this disease will experience severe abdominal pain symptoms again. If timely treatment is not provided, it may develop into intestinal necrosis. Therefore, it is now recommended that you go to a local reputable hospital to make an appointment with general surgery for follow-up. After undergoing necessary and thorough examinations, the results can be reviewed to determine whether surgery is needed for treatment.
