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 treated for a while, but then it came back again. Please ask if there is any way to reduce edema before surgery for pyloric obstruction.Doctor's answer:
Before any surgery in clinical diagnosis, active preoperative preparation is required, including surgeries for pyloric obstruction. The preoperative preparation for such surgeries is often successfully completed by nurses during the hospital stay. Therefore, it is highly irresponsible for a doctor to ask you to reduce swelling on your own. In clinical diagnosis, the thorough elimination of edema before pyloric obstruction surgery is most commonly achieved through gastric lavage with physiological saline. Since these procedures involve inserting a gastric tube, they are smoothly completed by nurses. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and complete the process under the guidance of a doctor.
