Dr. Shen Yonghua
The symptoms of intestinal adhesion vary, and mainly include: 1. Chronic pulling pain, especially evident when physical activity increases; 2. Mild cases may only present with slight abdominal pain and bloating after eating; 3. Moderate cases may experience impaired gas passage, belching, and hiccups due to narrowed intestines caused by adhesions; 4. Severe cases may be accompanied by dry stools and difficulty defecating, requiring the use of laxatives; 5. Nausea, vomiting, and fever may also occur. These symptoms can significantly impact the patient's quality of life; therefore, timely medical evaluation and treatment are essential once related symptoms appear.
