Paralytic ileus is a condition in which the intestines become temporarily paralyzed, leading to a lack of movement in the digestive tract. This can occur due to various factors such as abdominal surgery, infections, electrolyte imbalances, medications (especially opioids), or severe illness. Symptoms may include abdominal distension, pain, nausea, and constipation. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may involve supportive care, such as fluid management and bowel rest.
