Bowel obstruction is defined as an obstruction in the small or large intestines which causes the inability of food and waste to move freely in the body. Some of its common symptoms are extreme abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, constipation, and an inability to expel gas. Diagnosis at an early stage is very crucial to avoid complications like infections, tissue damage, and even rupturing of the intestines. Depending upon the reasons for the obstruction, treatment includes medicines and surgery. Jul 31, 2026 Call now
