    Causes

    • Causes may be due to physical obstruction or poor functioning of the intestine as a result of medications, surgery or nervous system disorders.
    • Physical obstruction:
    • Tumor
    • Hernia
    • Twisting of the intestines
    • Fecal impaction
    • Poor functional causes could be due to
    • Ileus: inability of bowel to contract as required
    • Certain medications
    • Nervous system disorders like Parkinson’s disease
    • Infections such as gastroenteritis or appendicitis

    Prevention

    Some forms of obstruction can be prevented. Prevention measures focus on preventing underlying causes:

    • Avoid heavy lifting to prevent hernia
    • Maintain a well balanced diet including sufficient fiber and fluids
    • Get colorectal cancer screening done after the age of 50

    Complications

    If untreated for a prolonged period it may lead to

    • Intestine rupture
    • Perforation (hole that forms in the intestines)
    • Infection
    • Tissue death
    • Sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection
    • Multiple organ failures

    What happens if I leave bowel obstruction untreated?
    Treatment of most patients with bowel obstruction will take place in the hospital. Fluids are given via an IV, as most patients are unable to take anything by mouth. Without surgical treatment, a complete blockage will rarely get better on its own. Patients with an incomplete or partial bowel blockage may not need immediate surgery.

    What are the symptoms of obstruction of the small bowel?
    Obstruction of the small bowel causes symptoms shortly after onset: abdominal cramps centered around the umbilicus or in the epigastrium, vomiting, and—in patients with complete obstruction—obstipation. Patients with partial obstruction may develop diarrhea. Severe, steady pain suggests that strangulation has occurred.

    What are the symptoms of a blockage in the small intestine?
    A blockage in the small intestine can lead to symptoms like crampy abdominal pain, bloating, and vomiting. About 25% of bowel obstructions occur in the large intestine. The large intestine ( colon) absorbs water and electrolytes from food waste and forms the remaining contents into stool that passes through the rectum and anus.
