About the disease
It is worth noting that inversion of the intestines is one of the types of intestinal obstruction. It happens as a result of a change in the position of this type of viscera — their interlacing or turning.
Small intestine
How to determine the inversion of intestines?Symptoms, by the way, may differ slightly, for example, in the defeat of the small and large intestines. Thus, the most severe form of the disease is observed if it is the small intestine that is twisted. In such a situation, a person may feel a sharp, sharp pain in the area of the upper abdomen, back, possibly the navel. All this is accompanied by the frequent return of just eaten food. Sometimes there is vomiting bile. There may also be an accumulation of gases, which will be indicated by the characteristic rumbling in the belly. If the intestines are twitched, the symptoms may also appear in the form of asymmetrical abdominal distention (a symptom of Valya), which is easily determined by eye. Sometimes there is also pallor of the patient, low blood pressure and rapid pulse. It should be noted that the more these entrails are twisted, the more pronounced all the above symptoms in a patient. If the patient is not treated in time, in eight hours everything can be fatal.
Sigmoid colon
Older people can happensigmoid intestines. Symptoms are periodic. This means that from time to time the sigmoid colon will simply wrap up, which will receive a certain signal - abdominal pain. If you do not start treatment in time, the natural discharge of gases will stop, the stool will disappear. If at this stage the disease remains untreated, symptoms similar to those of the previous type of illness will begin to appear. If this happens, the treatment is surgery. Surgeons note that during an operation, a gut inflated from gas and feces is detected in the patient's body, sometimes its dimensions can exceed the normal parameters by 10-15 times.
Cecum
There is another intestinal volvulus, symptomswhich should also be considered. Here we will focus on the cecum. The onset of the disease will be almost similar to the lesion of the sigmoid part - the absence of stool and the cessation of the natural release of gases. Valya syndrome may also occur, but the swelling will be concentrated in the left side, while the right side of the abdomen will remain almost normal.
At the doctor
Having identified independently signs of volvulus,best to seek medical help. After all, every lost minute with this disease can be fatal and even lead to the death of the patient. What will the doctor do if he gets such a patient? In addition to the standard examination and listening to sounds in the abdomen, he will send the patient on an x-ray, where it will be clearly visible whether there is a twisting of the intestines. If the diagnosis is made, the only thing that awaits the patient is surgery. It can end simply by loosening the bowel, and maybe even the removal of its dead parts.
