What Casues Bowels Obstruction?
Colonoscopy is necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms clearly indicate bowels obstruction. At your age (over 50) any case of bowels obstruction (when not caused by a hernia) should be checked with possible colon cancer. Please note that the over the age of 50 the risk of this cancer significantly rises. Therefore every person over this age should have colonoscopy every 10 years. Colonoscopy should be also done in any time when symptoms appear.
Your symptoms may be caused by a tumor in the large intestine. So it is quite surprising that doctors didnt perform colonoscopy at your case.
I suggest you to do not wait any longer. Please consult a surgeon or gastrologist and get colonoscopy done as soon as possible.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
