Bowel Blockage
A blockage in the bowel is a serious issue as it blocks the intestines, making it virtually impossible for anything to pass through. This can cause constipation and problems digesting food as well as causing severe pain.
Symptoms include vomiting, severe cramping and the inability to pass gas or defecate. Left untreated, the bowel can tear and become seriously infected. Certain medications and pain relief often help while sometimes a surgical procedure is required to remove the blockage.
