Important :Anyone had bowel a obstruction?

[EmmiL]

What was it like? Is it very serious? Everything is appreciated.

[Surely]

Never had one that a laxative wouldn’t handle. But they can become very serious and life threatening. If left untreated!

[Surely]

Hope you don’t have this problem. But, thank you for the MHO!

A mom of my uncle had it , got it fixed but died a few days later.

[Likestorizz]

Years later

[EmmiL]

Why did she die?

[EmmiL]

It's very important for me

[Likestorizz]

Maybe she developed a complication where she was operated I never really have asked.

[EmmiL]

Did she die due to the obstruction?

[Likestorizz]

I think yes after they clear it out

[EmmiL]

Or something else

[Likestorizz]

Maybe got infected

[EmmiL]

How many years did she live

[Likestorizz]

Was old I'm guessing 78

[EmmiL]

I mean how many years she lived after she got it fixed?

[Likestorizz]

Ooh sorry like 3

[EmmiL]

Thanks, very weird and scary

[Likestorizz]

Yeah you have it?

[EmmiL]

My mom might

[Likestorizz]

Sad does she eat lots of fruits, vegetables?

[EmmiL]

Some but not lots cause she's worried she'll get blocked

[EmmiL]

That's weird she died 3 years after.

[Likestorizz]

Yeah probably the surgeons did a bad job

[EmmiL]

Did your uncle sue

[Likestorizz]

I suggest a diet of fruits like mango, oranges, papaya all that plus water in medium quantity should clear it but I'm not a professional.

[Likestorizz]

No in mexico no one can or in the us

[EmmiL]

Did this happen in Mexico?

[Likestorizz]

Yes, also not rare in the us where I have lived legally since 1995

[Likestorizz]

Thank you Emmil

I looked it up on Google AI. Here is what it says.

Symptoms of a bowel obstruction can include severe abdominal pain, cramping, vomiting, constipation, and an inability to pass gas. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, bloating, and swelling of the abdomen.
Elaboration:
Severe Abdominal Pain and Cramping: This is a primary symptom, often described as intense and intermittent.
Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are common, especially if the obstruction is severe or complete.
Constipation: The inability to pass stool is a hallmark of a bowel obstruction.
Inability to Pass Gas: This is another key sign, indicating a blockage in the digestive tract.
Loss of Appetite: The pain and discomfort can lead to a decreased desire to eat.
Bloating and Abdominal Swelling: As the bowel fills with undigested food and fluids, the abdomen may become distended.
Other Possible Symptoms: Fever, dehydration, and a rapid heartbeat can also occur, particularly if the obstruction is severe or prolonged.
Causes of Bowel Obstruction:
Adhesions: Scar tissue from previous surgery is a common cause.
Hernias: A protrusion of an organ through a weakened area of the abdominal wall.
Tumors: Growths in the intestine can block the passage of food and fluids.
Crohn's disease: An inflammatory bowel disease that can cause narrowing of the intestine.
Diverticulitis: Inflammation of pouches in the colon.
Volvulus: Twisting of the intestine.
Ingested foreign objects: In some cases, a foreign object can cause a blockage.

I general a few days is not a big deal, anything beyond a week risks causing internal harm.

There are a lot of medicine, enemas and alike one can try to loosen things up. Failing all of those its a doctor's appointment.

If it is only a few days, some over the counter help and then go for a nice run. See if that kickstarts things again.

Not ms but I have a friend that has a tumor in his bowel and although it was disovered on a colonoscopy 9 years the examine doctor never informed anyone about it and now he has 4th stage colon cancer and it's spread to his liver.

[EmmiL]

Fuck that, hope he dues

[EmmiL]

Sues

[insatiable_curiosity]

Typically, you're referring to what's known as an partial small bowel obstruction. You can DM me if you'd like medical info.

[Anonymous]

Well, sort of. A couple of years ago, I wasn't able to poop for 5 days. I was about to go to the emergency room when everything cleared.

[fish5505_87]

No, Thank You; and yes, no, I have not. Thank You!

[RedInnocent69]

It sounds serious. Where else would it go?

[PaleDale]

Yes I could not go
