My mom is 60 and she's having issues with her intestines being trapped and swollen. I'm really worried and need to know how this can be treated. It's quite urgent. Could you help me understand what steps we should take?
Intestinal obstruction can be a serious medical condition, especially in older adults. The treatment for intestinal obstruction typically involves hospitalization and may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, nasogastric suction to decompress the intestines, and potentially surgery to remove the blockage. In some cases, medications such as laxatives or enemas may be used to help clear the obstruction. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect intestinal obstruction, as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
