Severe Pain in Ileostomy: Seeking Advice

This topic is about someone who is experiencing severe and persistent pain related to their ileostomy, along with vomiting. They are looking for advice on how to manage these symptoms without immediately going to the emergency room.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. It is important to seek urgent medical evaluation if you are experiencing severe pain and vomiting. This could be through your general practitioner, a consultant, or a nurse helpline. These symptoms need immediate attention.

2. Even if previous scans have shown no blockage or obstruction, it is still possible for a serious complication to be present. Early detection of any issues can help prevent the need for emergency surgery.

3. Persistent vomiting can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, and potential kidney failure. It is crucial to receive IV fluids if you are unable to maintain adequate fluid intake and output.

4. While managing pain with medications like morphine is important, it is essential to focus on identifying and treating the underlying cause of the symptoms.
