Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the details .
* Most probable reason is electrolyte imbalance with other factors as old age,
previous tummy weakness adding upon for his condition .
* It is common in many such types of cases involving complex pathology .
* If it does not resolve after adequate trial of conservative treatment ( which is
going on right now ) , then surgery is required further .
* It goes on for uncertain period after surgery , there are no definite cut off lines ,
because many parameters work behind that .
Hope this will help you .
Would love to revert back with latest scan report and if possible old or new lab
tests results .
Wishing him fine recovery from the same .
Regards dear , take care of him .
