Conservative treatment of gastrointestinal perforation

Digestive tract perforation is often related to bad living habits. Of course, it is not ruled out that the digestive tract is injured by external force. After this problem occurs, timely treatment is required, but some people choose conservative treatment of digestive tract perforation. When gastrointestinal perforation occurs, there will be abdominal pain and even shock. Most people will experience nausea and vomiting. Whether to choose conservative treatment should be determined after examination by a doctor.

For your current situation, you should continue to use antibiotics for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and replenish energy and nutrition intravenously to prevent and treat water, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances. You need to rest and not eat.

2. Symptoms of gastric perforation

1. Abdominal pain

Sudden onset of severe abdominal pain is the first, most frequent and important symptom of gastric perforation. The pain initially begins in the upper abdomen or perforation site, often with a knife-like or burning pain, which is generally continuous, but may also worsen in fits. The pain quickly spreads throughout the abdomen and may spread to the shoulders as a tingling or sore feeling.

2. Symptoms of shock

In the early stages of perforation, patients often have a certain degree of shock symptoms. The condition progresses to bacterial peritonitis and intestinal paralysis, and the patient may experience toxic shock again.

3. Nausea and vomiting

About half of the patients experience nausea and vomiting, but the symptoms are not severe. Vomiting worsens during intestinal paralysis, and there are also symptoms such as abdominal distension and constipation.

4. Other symptoms

Digestive tract perforation may cause fever, rapid pulse, and increased white blood cell count, but these symptoms usually occur several hours after the perforation.

3. Prevention of gastric perforation

1. Eat less fried food: Because this kind of food is not easy to digest, it will increase the burden on the digestive tract. Eating too much will cause indigestion and increase blood lipids, which is not good for health.

2. Eat less pickled food: these foods contain more salt and certain carcinogens, so they should not be eaten too much;

3. Eat less raw, cold and irritating foods: Raw, cold and irritating foods have a strong irritating effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa, and can easily cause diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation.
