What to do if gastric cancer is combined with intestinal obstruction? It can be relieved by these methods

Gastric cancer combined with intestinal obstruction is very common in clinical practice. Patients with mild intestinal obstruction can relieve the obstruction by themselves through dietary adjustment. Patients with vascular obstruction and adhesive intestinal obstruction need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Most patients can be relieved through fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, enema, catharsis, regulating water and electrolyte balance, and nutritional supplementation. For patients with more serious conditions, surgery can be chosen for treatment.

Gastric cancer is a disease that everyone is familiar with, and there are almost no uncomfortable symptoms in the early stages of gastric cancer. When gastric cancer develops to a certain extent, patients may experience symptoms such as belching, acid reflux, nausea and vomiting. At the same time, it can also induce many complications, such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal torsion, intestinal adhesions, etc. So, what should I do if gastric cancer is combined with intestinal obstruction?
Intestinal obstruction after gastric cancer is different from intestinal obstruction caused by other reasons. Intestinal obstruction after gastric cancer may be due to the development of gastric cancer, which narrows or blocks the patient's intestinal cavity, resulting in the inability to absorb nutrients in time. In addition, the ability to twist is weaker than normal. The ability of self-regulation is also getting worse. Therefore, it is easy to cause intestinal obstruction and cause physical discomfort to the patient.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for a checkup to see if they have stomach cancer and to see if the intestinal obstruction is caused by the disease. In this way, we can provide targeted treatment. It is recommended to do an X-ray to see the condition of the abdomen and also do a gastroscopy to see the condition of stomach cancer. However, compared with stomach cancer, intestinal obstruction is only a minor disease that can be treated non-surgically and with acupuncture.
As long as the intestinal obstruction is not mechanical, conservative treatment methods such as anti-infection, infusion, fasting or Chinese medicine treatment can be adopted. If it is another case, surgical treatment is necessary to cure it. Combined with the patient's physical condition, it is necessary to formulate a more comprehensive treatment plan.
If you choose surgery, although it can quickly relieve the disease and the pain, it will cause a lot of harm to the body. Especially if the patient has a history of gastric cancer and is in poor physical condition, it is easy to get infected if you have surgery. Non-surgical treatment is relatively conservative and causes relatively less harm to the body. However, the treatment effect will be slow, and the patient will still be in pain for a long time. But patients with gastric cancer cannot withstand too much harm, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination before making a decision.
