SAO PAULO, Reuters -Jair Bolsonaro, the Brazilian President, was released from hospital Wednesday. He had been admitted two days earlier with an intestinal obstruction. This is his second health problem following a stabbing in 2018.

“Being discharged now. “Thank you all,” the extreme-right Brazilian leader wrote on Twitter (NYSE.) along with a religious message, a photograph of him and his doctors making a thumbs up gesture.

Bolsonaro’s doctor Antonio Macedo said the president was fully recovered.

Bolsonaro is in power since 2019. He plans to seek re-election through a presidential vote set for October. Bolsonaro also stated that he will continue with his regular schedule, which includes a visit to Russia in February.

After suffering abdominal pains, he was on vacation in Santa Catarina in southern Brazil.

The obstruction was removed by doctors who tried to insert a tube nasogastricus and considered surgical options.

On Tuesday night, a medical bulletin stated that the president was showing improvement in his digestive system. He was eating a liquid diet with no side effects and had been removed from the tube.

Bolsonaro underwent a string of emergency surgery after being knifed at a September campaign event.

His Twitter account stated that he was feeling sick after eating lunch on Sunday. It was his second hospitalization with the “same symptoms” in just a few weeks. After suffering from chronic hiccups, he was admitted to Vila Nova Star in July 2021 for intestinal obstruction.

Macedo admitted that Bolsonaro may experience another gut obstruction in the near future.
