Symptom #4: Cannot Pass Stools
Passing stools is usually an effortless affair, even if it can be unpleasant. It can sometimes be harder than usual, often depending on what you have eaten, but is still something that is done without too much effort. Some illnesses might make passing stools to be very difficult indeed.
Difficulty passing stools is a symptom that often comes with peritonitis. The patient will also sometimes find it difficult to pass gas, contributing to bloating. Being unable to pass stools for too long is potentially dangerous and is something that should be checked out as soon as you are able to.
