The general condition of the human body depends entirely on how well the stomach and intestines cope with their duties. Failures in their work lead to a deterioration in well-being, malaise and discomfort. Often this is the reason for the occurrence of a disease such as bowel obstruction. One of its varieties is intestinal inversion.
Dehydration, disruption of the intestines, its overflow and stretching - all these are consequences of intestinal inversion. Symptoms need to be known and identified immediately. This will eliminate the disease at the very beginning and prevent unpleasant consequences. They can be expressed in strong pressure on the intestinal vessels, resulting in a violation of blood circulation and a possible heart attack, and not just the heart. The formation of a hole in the wall of the intestine, the appearance of peritonitis and inflammation of the peritoneum, which may well lead even to death, are all possible consequences of an inversion of the intestines. Symptoms of it are manifested in severe cramping pain. Moreover, it is the inversion of the intestines that leads to their rapid growth. Within a few hours, the pain becomes constant.
Sometimes, along with the pain, a strong feeling of nausea comes and vomiting may occur. A clear sign that intestinal obstruction has occurred is the complete absence of gas and stool. If a person has not visited the toilet for several days, this is already sufficient reason to seek help from a doctor. One medical saying describes the given situation as accurately as possible: “The longer a person delays the moment of an operation, the less time is left after it is completed.”
In such a situation, home treatment methods are simply unacceptable. This can only lead to intoxication of the whole organism, worsening of the condition and strong increases in temperature. An ambulance should be called immediately, and before her arrival, do not give the patient any painkillers, antiemetics, or laxatives. If doctors suspect a gut swelling, hospitalization is inevitable. In place of the patient can enter various solutions that compensate for the large loss of fluid (glucose, sodium chloride). Siphon enemas, gastric lavage, and perinephric novocaine blockade are used. In the event that these actions do not bring the desired result, the issue of surgical intervention will be considered. The sooner the patient seeks help, the easier the surgery will go. It may be necessary only to unravel the resulting loop and a slight squeezing. Perhaps dissection and cleansing of the intestine. In complex cases, when there is intestinal necrosis and a complete loss of its legal capacity, only removal of this part of the intestine is used.
Gut twisting can be prevented if you try not to overeat. Most often this happens due to the occurrence of long periods of time between meals. A man, not having really eaten in the morning, returns home after a hard working day and eats up “from the belly”. You must carefully monitor how regularly you visit the toilet. Inattention to this process can lead to the fact that intestinal twisting will be detected only at the stage of exacerbation. The most important tool in the fight against such a disease is a mobile, active lifestyle. Good light walks, moderate exercise, small jogging, swimming. To prevent inversion of the intestines, you should change your daily diet, excluding from it all rough, impassable food. Never eat at night.
It must be said that even an operation already transferred does not guarantee that this situation will not happen again. Therefore, you always need to take care of yourself and take care of your health.
