Yesterday we talked about a liquid diet that helps people with abdominal adhesions survive for a day or two:
Now people want to know how to find adhesions in themselves.
No way. This is the concern of the surgeon. If you go to the hospital with abdominal pain, the doctor will figure it out.
Approximately 75% of adhesions form after surgery:
The rest of the cases are associated with some kind of inflammation in the abdomen. Including the female part. For the same reason, adhesions interfere not only with the intestines, but also with the fallopian tubes. That is, not every obstruction leads to stopping of the intestine. Sometimes it leads to infertility.
So if the surgeon sees postoperative scars on the abdomen, he will suspect. Well, or the patient himself will tell you that this has already happened.
Maybe an ultrasound scan will check for signs of sliding of internal organs. If there are adhesions, the organs will not slip.
Do not think that adhesions are simply complications of surgery that surgeons would like to forget about. Vice versa. Surgeons would like to know exactly where the adhesions are, so that next time they do not stick a trocar there during laparoscopy and damage the intestine. So don't worry. You will not be left alone with your spike.
