SAIO full form in medical term is Subacute Intestinal Obstruction. This obstruction can be of two types, mechanical and functional obstruction. In the condition of mechanical obstruction, things like intussusception, polypoid tumor, neoplasms, stenosis, strictures, and adhesions can be responsible. When functional obstructions occur, in such a condition, the muscle inside the abdominal area starts to cause issues. Talking about the symptoms, a patient can feel excruciating and sharp wavelike pain in the case of SAIO along with nausea and vomiting.
Talking about the diagnosis procedure includes both physical and scans or tests. For diagnosis, doctors can recommend blood tests, Abdominal CT scans, X-ray scans, etc. Next comes the treatment part, so most of the time the doctors use medication and other procedures to treat these conditions, and the last option is surgery. Decompression using a tubelike device is a very common procedure to help remove the stool from the intestinal passage. Usually, after this procedure, patients feel relieved and the problem is solved. And if this procedure doesn’t work, then doctors refer the patient for surgical treatment.
