Question
How should a 9-month-old baby with intestinal prolapse be treated? How long does it take before surgery is required? What are the treatment methods for intestinal prolapse?
Answer
Upon diagnosis of intestinal prolapse, immediate fasting, decompression, intravenous fluid administration, and anti-infection treatment should be initiated. For infants, options include colon inflation reduction, surgical reduction, or intestinal resection and anastomosis. When dealing with adult intestinal prolapse, potential triggering diseases must be considered, and thus surgical treatment should be conducted simultaneously with the management of the primary disease. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular professional hospital.
