Welcome to HCM.
Well, bowel obstruction may be partial, temporary or complete.
Partial is benign condition and can be caused by opstipation or certain diet.
Complete obstruction(a major medical/surgical emergency) is characterized by absence of bowel movements,nausea,abdominal cramps.
The critical period for stool absence is 3 days and after this you should see doctor,do abdominal X-rays or CT Scan.
Any further queries are most welcome.
