What is Acute Abdomen?
The "acute abdomen" is a term used to describe any condition within the abdomen that requires immediate, potentially life-saving treatment. An acute abdomen can be caused by infection, internal bleeding, blockage of blood vessels within the abdomen, or an obstructive problem with the intestines.
Treatment of Acute Abdomen
Acute abdomen requires emergency medical treatment in the hospital. The goal is to diagnose the cause of the acute abdomen as quickly as possible. Initial treatment is directed at the identified or suspected cause and can involve IV fluids, pain medications, antibiotics, and surgical treatment.
