What is IBO Clinic?
IBO Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Intestinal Bowel Obstruction (IBO), a medical condition where the normal flow of contents through the intestines is blocked. This blockage can cause symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal swelling.
Why IBO Is Done?
The IBO clinic focuses on identifying the cause of bowel obstruction and providing effective treatment to relieve the blockage and prevent serious complications like intestinal damage, infection, or perforation. Timely intervention at the IBO Clinic can reduce the risk of emergency surgery and improve recovery.
Types of Intestinal Bowel Obstruction
- Mechanical Obstruction: Physical blockage caused by adhesions, hernias, tumors, or strictures.
- Functional Obstruction (Ileus): Intestines fail to move contents forward due to nerve or muscle problems without any physical blockage.
The Procedure
Diagnosis usually involves:
- Clinical examination: Checking symptoms and medical history.
- Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds to visualize the blockage.
- Endoscopy: In some cases, to look inside the intestines.
Treatment varies based on cause and severity:
- Conservative management: Fasting, IV fluids, nasogastric tube to decompress the bowel, and medications.
- Surgical intervention: Required if obstruction is complete, persistent, or caused by tumors or strangulation.
