General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

With the history of so many surgeries in the past, I would like to first have your abdomen examined physically followed by an ultrasound and a CT scan to rule out adhesion formation resulting in intermittent sub acute intestinal obstruction. In this case, you might have to get admitted in the ER/hospital for a period of observation with rest to your intestines. The problem might get relieved with this conservative measure, but in case it does not, you might need some kind of intervention on consultation with your surgeon.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
