Seven years after appendectomy, intestinal adhesions may occur, and treatment should be tailored according to individual physical conditions. If symptoms are mild, conservative management is recommended. Maintain a light diet, eat more bland and easily digestible foods to reduce gastrointestinal burden and improve symptoms. Regular moderate exercise can also help enhance intestinal motility. If symptoms are severe, surgical intervention is advised.
