Enterocele - small bowel prolapse treatment methods

Diagnosis of enterocele.

Small bowel prolapse is also called enterocele.

A pelvic examination is recommended for diagnosis. During the examination, the doctor will instruct you to take deep breaths.

Treatment

Treatment of small bowel prolapse is not necessary in clinical cases when the general state of
the patient's health is stable, that is, he does not suffer from symptoms.

However, in case of discomfort or acute symptoms, surgical operation is considered. Surgical intervention is effective in case of complicated prolapse.

Lifestyle and home remedies

Depending on the severity of your condition, these self-care measures may provide the symptom relief you need:

  •  Avoid constipation by drinking plenty of fluids and eating high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
  •  Avoid heavy lifting.
  •  Try to control coughing.
  •  Lose weight if you're overweight or obese.
  •  Quit smoking
  •  Avoid bearing down to move your bowels. Rely on your natural colorectal function to empty your lower bowel.
