What to do about intestinal adhesions after appendicitis
Disease description:
I developed bowel adhesions after having an appendectomy. What should I do about adhesions following appendicitis?
Patients with intestinal adhesions following appendicitis can appropriately engage in physical activity. Their diet should primarily consist of easily digestible foods, which may help improve and restore intestinal function. If the intestinal adhesion is severe, surgical treatment may be required. Adhesions caused by appendicitis should be treated promptly upon detection to prevent the development of peritonitis.
