“The president’s state of intestinal subocclusion (obstruction) is undone, without the need for surgery. The patient’s clinical evolution and laboratory tests are still satisfactory and a liquid diet will be started today. There is still no discharge forecast”, secure the newsletter.
The 66-year-old leader of the Brazilian far right was urgently hospitalized in the early hours of Monday after complaining of abdominal discomfort when he was enjoying a few days of rest on a beach in the southern state of Santa Catarina, from where he was airlifted to Sao Paulo.
It was the president’s second hospitalization in six months for the same reason, since in July 2021 he was also admitted to the same hospital for an intestinal obstruction, which he also overcame with conventional treatment and without the need for surgery.
The new bulletin was released after the arrival at the hospital on Tuesday morning of Dr. Antonio Luiz de Vasconcellos Macedo, head of the medical team that attends to Bolsonaro since the attack and that interrupted the vacation he was enjoying in the Bahamas to return to Brazil and treat the outstanding patient.
In messages that he published the day before on his social networks, the president recalled that his recurring abdominal problems are a consequence of the attack he suffered on September 6, 2018 when he was stabbed in the middle of the electoral campaign for the elections of October of that year, in those who were chosen.

The aggressor was arrested immediately after the attack, but was declared unimpeachable, as the judge considered that he was not able to answer for his actions due to his mental problems.
That attack led to four abdominal surgeries, but since taking office, Bolsonaro has also undergone surgery to remove a bladder stone and has also undergone a vasectomy.
The new hospitalization came three days after the far-right leader began the last of his four years in office, which began on January 1, 2019 and will end on December 31 of this year.
Bolsonaro intends to seek a new term in the elections on October 2 of this year, but opinion polls place him a long way from the favorite, the former president and leader of the Brazilian left, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
