Adhesion Colic
Adhesion colic is a form of chronic pain arising from movement of parts of the intestines which have partially “stuck” together, due to scar tissues that form as the body heals after an operation in the abdomen. It may occur after a relatively simple operation like an appendectomy, or after more major surgery like removal of the uterus or part of the intestine. People who have adhesion colic that is severe and recurrent often also have nervous systems that are over sensitive, resulting in pain from even normal bowel movements. In most cases, the attacks of colic are short lived; however, some may be very severe and prolonged and may be associated with other problems like vomiting. If the vomiting is persistant and there is constipation and swelling of the abdomen, you may need to see your doctor to make sure that you do not have intestinal obstruction. However in most cases, the attacks of colic are not dangerous and will subside after a while.
Many people with adhesion colic learn how to manage episodes of colic using non-drug techniques. However, in some people their pain levels may be very high and attacks may occur very often. In these cases, treatment with strong pain killers may be necessary – these include morphine-like drugs like tramadol, morphine and methadone which should be taken orally on a regular basis in order to prevent attacks of colic. Going for injections of pain killers only when there is strong pain is usually not a good idea as this is a short term solution for a chronic problem; with time, you will require higher doses of the pain medication, and you may find yourself going for injections more frequently.
Aduhai..kalau Tuhan nak uji tuh..memang diujiNya sungguh..
Sakitnye tak terkira..
Sabar..Sabar
Anyways my sis who is a doc told me that recent medical studies have shown that Gamat Healing and the likes actually contributes to this adhesion colic stuff.
Sigh
Nak zuriat punya pasal..Nasib baik yang keluar comey ...
Ehehek..
ohh my, I don't have these even after 2 c-sec, mine ok je.. i hope this is temporary, kesiannya you..
ReplyDeleteheard about gamat healing but not sure as to the effectiveness of that product. dulu i was forced to eat gamat lepas i c-sec, mcm tak ada effect pun, healing lama gile compare to the 2nd c-sec ( tak makan ubat gamat), healing 1-3 days sahaja after that dah tak sakit n boleh jalan macam biasa, tak sakit langsung anywhere.
Tulah Dana..sometimes menggeletar sebab tahan sakit tahap maut..If ditakdirkan ceaser buat kali kedua, hopefully takde masalah..my sis says the only way to solve the problem is to undergo surgery..tak mo aku!!! Yikes!
ReplyDeletekesiannya..hope u will be fine..
ReplyDeleteShafini : Thanks..let's hope so
ReplyDeleteidza,
ReplyDeletei pun c-sect and i had ppl coaxing me to take gamat tu but luckily i refused! the reason i didnt is becoz i hv super sensitive skin, and if i ada wound, it heals better when i leave it alone. so i treated my c-sect wound like that. i really hope this situation of yours is not permanent and hope u will recover soon.
Farah: Thanks. Not improving I'm afraid. Maybe akan terpaksa opt for c-sect jugak for next baby, because then they can correct the problem. But meanwhile, I would have to tolerate the pain, tp medication ada
ReplyDeletei had d same major pain lately. twice within a month. i wasnt told by my doc after my major abdominal surgery back in 2009. only now the pain started to come. only after receiving the injection the pain subsides. my body will be very weak, i couldn't even walk. and it took me 3-4 days to recover and able to walk as usual. even after taking ponsten the pain didnt subside. then only my doc told me it is a lifetime effect after hvng major abdominal surgery.
ReplyDeleteassalamualaikum idza,
ReplyDeleteKak Maz pun pernah 2 kali c-sect (anak ke 6 & ke 7)... tahun 2011 (setelah anak ke 7 berusia hampir 15 tahun) baru terasa sakit... mula-mula Dr diagnose sebagai IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)... lama-lama Kak Maz notice, sakitnya mesti sebulan sekali... dalam masa yang sama, Gynea kata akak ada ovarian cyst, tapi tiap-tiap kali observe, lepas 2 bulan cyst tu dah hilang. maknanya dah pecahlah tu! so, surgeon tu diagnose sebagai Adhesion Colic... dia suruh undergo operation melalui kaedah Laparascopic Adhesiolysis. tapi husband akak tak setuju...
Husband akak suruh berubat cara Islam... dahlah dikatakan Kak Maz terkena sihir! akak disuruh minum madu & pakai cincin yang dah diprogramkan dengan ayat-ayat Al-Quran... kalau sakit taklah kuat sangat... adalah 4 bulan. tapi hari ni sakitnya agak kuat sama seperti bulan Disember tahun lepas!! macam Idza kata, sakit gila!! hanya orang yang pernah mengalaminya sahaja yang tahu bagaimana rasa sakit ini....
Maz: Berubat tradisional tiada salahnya tapi apa salahnya amalkan dua dua. Mmg kalau adhesion colic ni hanya ada satu cara je naik baik, iaitu bedah untuk betulkan semua parut kat dalam perut tu. Harap Maz tabah dan tetapkan pendirian untuk buat yang terbaik. Yang sakit kita bukan org lain jadi biarlah kita buat keputusan sendiri nak buat apa untuk baik.
ReplyDeleteSalam. Ive been diagnosed with adhesion colic a couple years back . The pain is excruciating. Had my c sect in 2003 and 2004 but i only started to experience the pain a few years back - Faridah
ReplyDeleteHi, Faridah. After my second c-sect in February last year, nampaknya alhamdulillah semua dah ok. I dah tak sakit mcm dulu. Unfortunately, setakat yang I tahu memang sakit adhesion colic ni can only be corrected by another surgery. Huhu sakit.
ReplyDeletesalam.. sy pun didiagnos adhesion cholic tahun 2010 after c-sect pd 2008.. sakitnya mmg tak terkata.. 2 minggu sekali mmg kn baring shj.. sudah 2 kali bedah utk release adhesion tp masih x Berjaya.. Doc ckp mmg susah just kn tahan sakit n mkn ubat shj.. just nak share..
ReplyDeleteHi Adlin, I feel you, sampai mcmtu sekali 2 kali bedah pun not working. At least Iza with one surgery alhamdulillah. Hope you bertahan and stay strong. I wish the best for you. Moga tuhan beri kekuatan
DeleteThanks iza .. itulah dugaan betul pd masa sama diagnos diabetic, hypertension, masalah degenerate disc.. ini membuatkan I x boleh berjalan byk ..2009 bedah buang ovarian cysts, 2010 try release adhesion, 2011 ada fibroadenoma kt right breast, 2012 try release sekali lagi Doc letak membrane tp x berjaya jugak..Alhamdulilah hubby & kawan2 sekerja byk memahami..sakitnyaa.. hanya yg sakit adhesion colic shj bo betul2 faham.. pjg pulak luahannya
DeleteYou are a strong lady adlin! Prayers to you. Much love from me. Moga tabah. Apa apa keep in touch. Hugsss
DeleteI suspect I have adhesion colic too. Abt a year after my 2nd c-section. Masa mula2 tu the pain keeps recurring..at times smp 3 minggu berlanjutan. Mmg sakit. Now amalkan pemakanan yg lbh sihat cthnya lebih byk sayur2an, buah2an dan kurangkan daging susah hadam spt daging lembu dan ayam. Makanan yg lembut spt bubur dan sup. Itu membantu sb rasanya bila usus kita kena bekerja kuat sakit tu akan timbul. Tapi masih tak boleh kawal sakit yg datang semasa period pain. Datang serentak sakit tu..seluruh bahagian bawah perut termasuk pelvic dan anus cramp. Sakitnya..Allah mengetahui. Tak tahu nk makan ubat apa dah.
ReplyDeleteHi anonymous, after my 2nd emergency c-sect then it felt so much better. But unfortunately there is no cure for adhesion colic. Cuma boleh try correct kalau ada subsequent surgery I think. Hope you bersabar. Mmg sakit sgt I faham
Deletehi akak nak tanya saya pon terkene adhesion colic selpeas buang appendix .skrang doktor suruh 2nd surgery untuk bukak adhesion tuh balik...tapi saya takut bende tuh jadi balik n more worst then before...sakitnyeee
DeleteSalam, mmg kena buat surgery baru okay kalau ikut doktor. Mmg takde cara lain kecuali undergo surgery again. Mmg iza lepas 2nd c-sect baru hilang adhesion ni. Hope it helps..
