[|Human|] I recently had an obstruction in the small bowell.  It was cleared via nasogastric tube  The doctors think it was an adhesion that caused it  I am having a colonoscopy this week to reveal more information.  As the pain was so excrutiating, and am fearful of it reoccurring, are their any preventative methods in order for this to not occur?
[|AI|]  Hi and thanks for the query, It is interesting that the obstruction was an upper gastrointestinal tract or small bowel obstruction. There should not really be any reason for fear for reoccurrence or that it might have a serious impact on the procedure you should be going through in the days ahead. I do suggest you just be cautious and ensure the normal precautions taken when doing usual colonoscopy be taken. No worries for now. Kind regards
