Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Bowel Obstruction
Question: My husband has pain that starts in his upper stomach and goes down. Cramping, bloating, no bowel movement in 3 days. The pain radiates through his abdomen.
Brief Answer:
His symptoms are characteristic for bowels obstruction.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by bowels obstruction. As he is over the age of 50, colon cancer can be the reason of such obstruction.
With the obstruction he should also be unable to pass gasses. Nausea can appear.
It is strongly recommended for him to go to ER. Abdominal x-ray has to be done to rule out the obstruction. If its ruled out, colonoscopy should be scheduled as the next step.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
