How long does a stab wound to the bowel takes to heal after surgery

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 9th Sept '24
A stab wound in the bowel is indeed a serious injury that will require surgery for a solution. After the surgery, the healing time can vary but it usually takes several weeks to a few months. Symptoms of this may involve intense pain, fever, and vomiting. Repairing the damaged bowel with surgery is the solution, in addition to proper wound care and medication to prevent infection, which is the main reason for the surgery. It's important to heed your doctor's orders to have a quick and easy recovery.

Me chest pain And I have this tablet rabeprazole 20 mg and levosulpiride 75 mg This working
Male | 24
Chest pain can have different musculoskeletal reasons, cardiac causes, or reflux as it could be. Your rabeprazole & levosulpiride drugs are, in fact, related to these stomach ailments rather than the chest pain. Rabeprazole cuts down acid, and levosulpiride makes it easier for your stomach to empty. If you are experiencing chest pain, it is necessary to identify the exact cause. Remember to visit a gastroenterologist for a complete examination.

I am having a stomach ache since one year. Symptoms are - gas , vomiting feeling, appetite losing, headache, and nothing else . I have done many examination and test and fortunately all are okay and good. So how can i cure this stomach ache permanently?
Female | 14
Stress or certain foods may cause stomach issues. Try tracking what you eat to pinpoint problem foods. Relaxation techniques like deep breaths, meditation, or gentle exercise could help reduce stress. Eat smaller meals more often, and drink plenty of fluids. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a gastroenterologist.

Female | 25
Swelling can happen for many reasons, like gas, constipation, or eating too much salt. It can also be a sign of something more serious, like a hernia or fluid buildup. Watch for other symptoms, like pain or changes in your bowel habits. If the swelling doesn’t go away, see a gastroenterologist.

Sir mere bete ko kala latrin horaha hai.kuch bhi khane per dard horaha hai. Endoscopy report me esophagus ke GE junction me 39 cm ka tumor bata raha hai. Please help kare.
Male | 20
If there are pains after eating and the stools are blackish, it could be a sign of some serious problem that is taking place inside the body. The 39 cm tumor at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is the cause of this problem. These types of tumors can be malignant, hence, the person may face trouble swallowing as well as experience weight loss. The options of surgery or other methods such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy might be necessary to eliminate the tumor.

I am not feeling hungry for five years ..and indigestion or vomiting problem
Male | 24
It's important to address ongoing issues like lack of appetite alongside symptoms such as discomfort, nausea, or vomiting. These concerns may stem from various conditions including stress, digestive disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. To start, consider maintaining a food diary to track what you eat and any symptoms that arise. Gentle, bland foods may also be easier to digest. Staying hydrated is crucial. However, given the duration and nature of your symptoms, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide tailored guidance and explore potential underlying causes for your well-being.

I was given a Syrup for urine injection, but my mistake maybe my over view I have taken it without diluting, Change at present Vomitings I just want to know side effects or next step I need to take
Female | 23
It is apparently that urine injection syrup you have taken without diluting it. This can cause vomiting as a side effect. The major factor is the irritation of your stomach. To help, drink plenty of water and rest. If the vomiting persists or the condition is severe, there is a need to see medical help immediately.

Male | 5
MCT oil can sometimes lead to digestive changes, especially in children. This could cause uncomfortable bowel movements, especially if your child has celiac disease, which affects how the body processes certain foods. Symptoms like this can arise from dietary adjustments or sensitivity to specific ingredients. It’s essential to ensure that any new food introduced is suitable for your child's condition. I recommend closely monitoring their reactions and consulting your pediatrician for personalized guidance. They can provide tailored advice and alternatives to keep your child's nutrition in balance while addressing any discomfort.

I am having bubbly pee and itching in whole body since a long time. I also have piles
Female | 45
You could be having a urinary tract infection as a result of a bubbly pee effect and an allergic reaction where your body is itching all over. The piles too might be a reason for some pain. Drinking plenty of water to water down the infection then using creams for anti-itch to your skin. To relieve the piles, try including fiber in your diet, and do not cut the effort when you go to the bathroom. If the symptoms are persistent or worsen, you should visit a gastroenterologist.

I am done with my piles surgery two week back through laser surgery it was reached its 4th stage now after two week it's still swelling feeling like does my piles hit back or what . Or it is normal to have lump like swelling after went through laser surgery
Female | 24
The swelling may come up as your body heals. In some cases, a small lump may be created, which will be similar to the piles that are coming back. It's usually one of the healing mechanisms. You should always wash the site and strictly follow your physician's orders. If you have any doubts, it's always a good idea to talk to your gastroenterologist.

This type of problems may develop due to a number of factors that include low fiber diet, no physical activity, drugs and certain diseases. This is because it is important to drink enough fluid and to take your fiber intake within the required limit. Also, try and stay active. Consult your gastroenterologist so that he can conduct more comprehensive examination and treatment in cases of severe and chronic constipation.

If you're suffering from mild gastritis and prescribed medication for four weeks, it's important to follow a bland diet. Avoid spicy, oily foods, and opt for easily digestible meals like khichdi, yogurt, and boiled vegetables. Consult a gastroenterologist for personalized dietary advice and monitor your symptoms closely during this period.

Male | 37
I would urge you to consult with a gastroenterologist and liver specialist to receive treatment for your fatty liver. A level 2 SGPT shows that your liver is damaged to a moderate extent and needs prompt medical intervention. Besides medical care, you need to make some lifestyle changes, such as consuming less alcohol, losing weight, and sticking to a balanced diet.

Male | 18
Frequent bathroom visits and the tightness of the stool can create a discomfort. Usually, these are caused by the diet, hydration, and stress factors. Fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and legumes should be included in your diet. Drink water, as it is very important for hydration to be fully effective. If the pain or discomfort persists, then it might also signal another problem. Therefore, it is better to consult a gastroenterologist who can diagnose the whole-picture and recommend the proper treatment.

I was feeling unwell, was given some anti malarial, not much change, later typhoid was suspected, but I didn't do a test. I've been on ciproflaxacin, I feel like going for a blood check up but it might not work since I've been on medicine, am asking for advice
Male | 20
It seems that dealing with a complex situation. Being sick and taking drugs can lead to inaccurate results of a blood test. Knowing exactly what is wrong is necessary for the right treatment. Symptoms of fever, stomach ache and general body weakness are common in both malaria and typhoid. Failing to go through the test may complicate matters further. My advice is to wait for some days after completion of the ciprofloxacin course before going for a blood test. This will enable you to get clearer results about your health status.

I’m very bloated and cramping very bad
Female | 23
You seem to be unable to deal with bloating and cramps in a very severe manner. Bloating is the condition when the stomach is too tight and too full. Cramps are pain that you experience in your abdomen. This is generally due to gas in your intestines. Some foods or eating too fast may cause this. Try to drink warm water, walk, and avoid soft drinks. Don't get discouraged if your efforts are seemingly ineffective, tell someone.

Fever often indicates your body fighting an infection, accompanied by symptoms such as chills, body aches, or fatigue. It can stem from various causes, including viral or bacterial illnesses, dehydration, or inflammation. If you're experiencing nausea as well, it's essential to stay hydrated by sipping clear fluids. Resting can also help your recovery. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consider consulting a gastroenterologist to address your concerns and ensure proper care. Remember, seeking medical advice is a good step toward understanding your situation better and receiving appropriate treatment.
