Hello,
With The question "How to definitively treat intestinal obstruction?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
When intervening (surgery) in the abdomen, there is a risk of intestinal adhesions after surgery. You need to visit again by a gastroenterologist to evaluate the specific situation, can continue surgery to remove intestinal adhesions if the obstruction is prolonged and continuous.
To avoid intestinal obstruction, you need to abstain from high-fiber foods (bamboo shoots), astringent foods (green guava, sapodilla) and indigestible foods (beef hooves).
If you still have questions about bowel obstruction, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
