How can I diagnose foreign object in small bowel?
Patient's Query
Suppose there is a foreign body like a small fish bone or chicken bone which got stuck in small bowel or has perforated small bowel and entered peritoneal cavity. As we know upper endoscopy and colonoscopy cant reach small bowel then how do we diagnose such small object and which imaging would be the best for diagnosis?
Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar
In case you accidentally swallow a fish bone or a chicken bone and it gets stuck in your small bowel or pokes a hole, it can cause serious problems. These conditions can be the cause of symptoms like strong abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. To diagnose this, a CT scan of the abdomen is the best imaging test. It is capable of revealing if there's a foreign object or a hole in the bowel. When this occurs, surgery may be necessary to remove the object and fix the bowel. Don't wait if you have these symptoms, visit a gastroenterologist.
