Question
Hello doctor,
I have had an open appendectomy, a ruptured ectopic pregnancy 1 time, a laparoscopic surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy 1 time and an open surgery for a bleeding ovarian cyst once. Then the doctor said she had an intestinal adhesion and was being treated with antibiotics at home. So the doctor told me how to treat women with intestinal adhesions? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Resident Doctor Le Thanh Tuan - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Nha Trang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “How are women with intestinal adhesions treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Intestinal adhesion is the phenomenon of intestine sticking to the abdominal wall around the site of previous open surgery. Intestinal adhesions are dangerous when the condition causes intestinal obstruction or volvulus. Laparoscopic surgery is the optimal method for the treatment of intestinal adhesions. However, in cases where the patient is admitted to the hospital because of intestinal obstruction or volvulus due to adhesions, the abdomen is very distended, open surgery is often performed to solve the cause.
If you still have questions about women with intestinal adhesions, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
