- Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) Signs & Symptoms, & Why They Occur
Small bowel obstructions (SBO) are mechanical blockages or occlusions of the small intestine. They can occur due to the small intestine twisting or “kinking” due to an intra-abdominal adhesion. When an SBO occurs, they cause gastrointestinal contents to “back-up” prior to the blockage, leading to a host of signs and symptoms, which we discuss in this lesson.

Whos here with constipation and having a panic attack?

🙋♀️
Million of thanks👍👍👍 for sharing this wonderful topic.
Hey! Glad you enjoyed it!
Who else came here because they actually cant poop? 😅
I have to take castor oil every weekend to have a bowel movement 😪
@@shawncarter8930 damn that's whack bro. Have you seen a doctor for your IBS or anything!? I wish you well my dude. May we all 💩 in peace for the rest of our days
Yeh I have. I had an upper endo in march and said minimal chronic gastritis. Other than that nothing
I’m here bc im pooping too much 😭
@@thesugarace1964 we should all be so lucky 🙄. Hope you feel better buddy
Once after I ate a hamburger I felt some thing sharp when , I swallowed my food then 3 hrs later I felt sick my stomach was bothering me so I went to the hospital they said I was ok the next day when I got up 3 am to urinate my stomach was a size of small ball . I imidiately drove to the hospital then emergency surgery was made the next morning the doctor found a tooth pick that perforated my intestine n he said I was very lucky that I came on time and, if I was late an hour I would have died due to sepsis and thank god that god woke me up to urinate while I was sleep n imagine if I didn’t wake up , I would have been gone n I live by my self , I thank god daily even though I’m not good Muslim but I have always fed the poor
@Ashton Roberts I hope jejus heal me
@Ashton Roberts why is it Islam is considered a “religion by force” but you will never find Muslims replying to Christian comments praising Jesus claiming “that it was actually Allah that saved you”
Hmm 🤔 seems a bit forceful by Christians to shove your beliefs down our throats don’t you think
Islam is fake religion. It was Shri Krishna that saved you. Not allah and not jesus. Just keep that in mind. Karma is the reason as you mentioned you fed the poor so your good deeds were rewarded by God.
@Jody Roussel we as muslims have nothing against christians and Jesus. In fact we believe that Jesus is a prophet like our prophet Muhammed. May God guide you and find peace where ever you are.
How did you not realise you swallowed a tooth pick 🤔
Amazing explantion !!
Your video was right on point and your explanation was easy to comprehend. I myself just had surgery for a small bowel obstruction and had most of the symptoms you mentioned in your video. I thank God I decided to go to the hospital emergency when I did otherwise the outcome could have been worst. I always had a pain under my right rib that turned into a crampy pain in the belly button area. This is a serious condition and it’s not to be taken lightly. I had lots of adhesions in my small intestine which was totally closed of. A contrast MRI revealed my condition. Thanks for a great video.
Hlo I am also having the same symptoms actually I am a kid and family doesn't take me seriously. From how time u were having these symptoms
@@darkshaw4687 definitely get it checked out by a doctor. I hope you feel better, God bless you🙏
@@jamilahadade7620 actually I am asking from how many days u were having these symptoms and please tell me which test should be done to clear this
@@darkshaw4687 I was having pain in that lower right side under the rib for years but, I always complained to my doctor & he sent me for a contrast MRI and I also had a contrast cat at scan at the Emergency room he said I had a small intestine bowel obstruction. After he told me that he prescribed antibiotics but they didn’t work. After 5 years which is now I ended up with severe pain and vomiting and I was rushed to the emergency and I had to go thru surgery to clear my small intestine from adhesions. I think you should go have yourself evaluated to make sure everything is ok. Lots of luck to you and may Gods bless you always! Merry Christmas 🎄 small intestine bowel obstruction is very serious condition please have it check. Lots of luck & it might not be anything but the doctor will tell you. Stay well, and safe 🙏
@@jamilahadade7620 How long was your healing and what was it like? How did you eat / use restroom etc? Would love more info and what they called the surgery
Great video,helpful
Glad you liked it!
Hey man love the content.
Hey! Thanks so much!
Yes...what about paralytic ileus?
What’s the medicine to treat , what should I do ?
I know everyone is different, but if someone has a complete blockage and does not seek treatment, how long can they survive with it? My mom has end stage colorectal cancer, and a rectal tumor which was causing a partial blockage. She is on hospice now and all signs point to a complete blockage (started with loud rumbles, now no passing gas and no bowel movement for almost a week, extreme bloating which is growing, extreme pain and spasming/contracting that is visible). I hate that she is suffering. She has of course turned down any scans or offer to go to the ER to get it checked or resolved since this was something she knew could happen. She's on strong pain meds and the nurse is now bringing Bentyl to see if that will help bring comfort. I just really want to know realistically how long she is going to have to suffer with this.

Does laproscopic inguinal hernia repair dramatically increase your risk of sbo?
I’ve been diagnosed with a obstruction and told that I need to go on a liquid diet. I’ve got all these symptoms apart from vomiting. Not looking forward to it. Hopefully this helps.

Tell me about it I’ve been dealing with more bowel blockages since 2005 but more after 2013. Pure agony hell
I had abdominal pain and nausea and sob so I underwent surgery a year ago and the same time I was covid positive
Can it back up and cause heart problems?...
I just found out I possibly have bowel loop. Any advice?
After I got the gastricbypass I had surgery 9 times for bowel obstruction
I thought i had some weird stuff in my intestines so i started searching but actually i dont feel any pain or belly growing. I also didnt vomit or dont even feel like vomitting
Does a fluoroscopy diagnose this or what test checks for this.
Great discussion! Would like to know how you prevent this from happening?
Fiber good diet just take gut health seriously I need to do that too and some medication can cause it
You can’t avoid it it happened when your scar tissues raps around you entertained I had it twice and I had surgery for 1
It actually isn’t preventable since it’s going on in the inside and it doesn’t show any symptoms until it’s time to go to the emergency room. It’s cause by adhesions and we don’t really know what’s going on inside our stomach. I would suggest getting a contrast cat scan every year or 2 so you can make sure your small bowel is open. Stay well and good luck 👍
Sir ..I think I have this problem that you talking about.. I have symptems of partial obstruction..so can it lead to bad breath also?(because of storing gas inside) .....DO I NEED TO MEET MY DOCTER ( I think I should)..and how to go ahead with this case...I had side effects that you told for last 4 and half years with little pain also(sometimes) ,lot of farting problem( horrible) and release stool multiple times ...I NEED YOUR HELP ..(and also my english is not that good..I wrote as well as I can)

Hello i have a question i dont want to be scared of afraid or stress out i been having sytomps like dizziness for awhile but it comes and goes and sometimes when i get dizzy i feel light headed and sometimes i get nauseas too i have been conspitated before but i can still pass gas and my stools are watery i think i have diarehea so do i have have some kind of blockage or ibs?
Make an appointment to see your doctor.
Do you have a video about the type of symptoms where you should seek medical attention immediately? Would these symptoms be an example? Thank you.

@@ginnysarpal9324 go to the hospital
I am going to have surgery right now because of that
What is the difference between being impacted or obstructed?
I think impacted can be slowly cleared out, like slow. Obstructed I would think would mean complete blockage
I'd like to find out more on how a SBO would present with a patient who had gastric bypass.
Yep in pain now
Ive had around 6 sbo since 2012 had bypass surgery. . and over 20 hernias which needed surgery urgently......... Apparently it can occur often after bypass surgery.... If in doubt go to ED.... And get checked out... Dont risk it....
Please review the comments. Some may need to be removed
Had a C-section and haven’t been the same since
Me girl . Like omg
No seriously same 😢
Imagine having 4 of them 😭
Might have this but can’t see doctor till next month. Idk if I have it though or it’s just trapped gas. For the past 2 weeks or so I felt like phantom kicks but they don’t really hurt? I’ve never had nausea/vomiting though, but some constipation. My parents definitely won’t let me see a doctor till my next physical because they constantly get mad at me overreacting so what can I do?
I don’t know if you’re ok by now but whenever you have a pain that isn’t normal you have to get it checked out. Could be nothing or can be an emergency so never hesitate to go to the emergency room. If it’s an obstruction the end result can be very bad if you don’t go to the hospital. I hope you’re ok.
@@jamilahadade7620 It's definitely not a bowel obstruction since that was tested so I think I actually have SIBO since thats what most of my symptoms align with but sadly theres little research on what SIBO is so it would be hard to get tested for that.
@@galaxyamv8428 I’m happy you don’t have it and it’s good you had it tested. These types of stomach problems should always be taken care of as soon as possible. Stay well, Happy summer 😃
@@galaxyamv8428How are you now?
@@galaxyamv8428Hey! How did the SIBO diagnosis go? Have you healed fully yet?
Hello Doctor, I have intestinal paralysis. I visited more than one doctor and did not find a solution. I lost my weight. I weighed 80 and now it is 49. I always feel heavy with fullness and satiety. I vomit every meal. I became like a skeleton. By God, my life is tired and destroyed. Is there a cure for this disease?
What about faecal vomiting and paralytic ilius.
I’ve been experiencing serious bloating & pooping less & less over the past month. I can’t eat & have severe abdominal distention. I’m in constant pain.
No medical insurance & I’m not sure where to start, like maybe go to a walk in clinic.
How are you feeling right now
i have ibs give me fear and stress and stomach issues
Had bowel obstruction when I was 15 due to surgery adhesions I'm 27 and i still get them like twice a year. They are so annoying and disgustingly painful
What do you do to get over them and what are your systems, please I want to know, I'm going through something similar
i'm so sorry

I am pooping but i only poop 2 times in the morning. i pass gas at night. during the day i do feel like i have a blockage. and my legs feel tingling.. why?
Any update? Hope your okay
Hey doctor I still haven't digest my food from earlier on today I feel real bloated atm
Any update?
I remember one day waking up and my stomach felt like a ballon that I couldn’t suck in. So I gave it a week and continued to feel bloated and stopped eating so than it made me feel very weak and I started having bloody stool. I really thought something was wrong with my pancreas because that’s the area it was hurting. I went to the hospital and they did a ct scan and dr just said that no tumors but there was a lot of stool so I took all the laxatives she recommended and NONE have worked if anything they made me feel weak. I went to a different hospital and he said he wasn’t doing another ct scan and to eat a lot of fiber so I loaded up the cooked broccoli and beans BAD IDEA. I started feeling very bloated and sick and the stool softeners made me feel very weak. He prescribed a saline enema(fleet) and it hurt my rectum to do and the next day I had alot of heart pain. I was also drinking lots of prune juice to try and “clean” my intestines and lots of bloody stool. It’s been like 3 weeks and I feel so helpless.. I now have heart pain and difficulty breathing. I will probably go to the hospital again but I really don’t want more ct scan but it’s probably something I’ll have to do. I’ve never had constipation problems in the past and I’m sad that I’m 20 and Im having these problems:(
hi update we have same condition
hey ask them to do a colonoscopy and rectal examination also the bleeding can cause anemia and anemia can cause heart problems i feel like they shouldn't let you leave before understanding why you are bleeding internally
Omg literally the exact same thing happening to me holy crap
Are u ok now
I had the same problem but I had bright red stool and It was hard for me to last stools and when I would I would bleed
In immense pain, went to urgent care, they refused to diagnose and instead referred me for a cat scan a week from now!!
Plss give me some tips ... I suffered 2 times bcoz of this prblm... 2 surgery 😭... The pain was unbearable
A doctor told me it can get worst if you have surgery, don't drink beer or sodas,your not surpose to eat peanuts or certain vegetables drink a vegetable juice instead and a low fiber diet
I have been through an obstruction about 3 times, & just recently it is happening again... God help me. I don't want to go to the hospital.
brother what you do to normal plz tell me. My condition is like some stool is stucked and not coming out and I gone to hospital several times but no result, Any suggestion plz
What treatment you took
@@kiranbisht2909 liquid fasting, liquid laxative, stool softener s
@@charlivosyou didn't go to doctor ?
I was diagnosed with this in 2016 and was out of the hospital in a week without a surgery... and it happened again the next year this time i had a surgery and I think a diseased part of my small bowel was removed...from that time I have been skinny and finding it really hard to put on weight, So is there a relation between not able to gain weight and SBO?
Take supplement of vitamins
I think once some of your bowel is removed you won’t be able to eat as much anymore and that’s probably why you’re not gaining weight. My doctor said even though I had the surgery the adhesions that were removed might grow back and I would need surgery again.It’s a horrible condition to have because the adhesions removed tend to grow back. The symptoms are belly button pain, vomiting, unable to hold food down. Pain on right side of stomach. This condition tends to return so always monitor if you get the symptoms.
Heyy how is your health now..is this completely curable
@@jhalaknamdeo6534 my side is still hurting from the surgery and I nervous that the adhesions might come back again but, I try to do the best I can. Thanks for asking. Happy New Year 🎆
I think in my opinion it’s not really curable because once your obstruction is repaired new adhesions start to form. I’m still having tremendous pain myself but, I do suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. I tend to feel there’s a relation between the two. I would suggest you to do another cat scan or mri with contrast that way it will real what’s going on. Change of diet is a must. I don’t eat much meat as it’s tough on the stomach. As long as you’re having normal bowel movements then your gut is working. Make sure it’s not an appendix so check with the physician to make sure. I know it’s time consuming but it’s your health am so sorry your going through all that but your bowel was cut so therefore your insides are wet inside unlike your skin which heals faster cause of exposure to the sun and s air. It might just be a process of healing. Try not yo eat greasy foods. Cook bland and see if that helps. About gaining weight well your stomach isn’t holding as much. Make sure your pancreas is working normally because that makes people not gain weight. I hope I was some help. Remember prayer 🙏 is most important and a positive attitude. May God give you strength and no pain. If you have any questions contact me thru here. I’m not a doctor but I studied Med school but was able to finish due to my financial situation but anyway I do know certain things. Stay well and may God bless you.

Anyone if vomiting up your poop call 911 get ambulance immediately.happened to my husband.its getting tube down your nose drain poop then straight to surgery .if my husband was 10 more minutes from arriving to er he would have died.vomiting your poop is a deadly emergency don't ever wait or question it.
That happened to my Mom after her stroke. Praise the Lord the Nurse that was friends with our family recognized what was happening to her and got her the proper treatment.
I have had most all of these symptoms for a week. The only way that I could have a bowel movement was by eating an excessive amount of water melon and then my stools went from non existent to liquid.
That was 24 hours ago.
I've mostly fasted apart from aloe vera juice.
I just started feeling nauseous upon waking this morning. Was waiting for the weekend to end to go to the clinic but it's the 4th of July and the clinics aren't open. I packed a hospital bag in case I decide to go into the ER but after a bath I suddenly feel some measure of relief and my stomach is less swollen.
Maybe s dumb idea but I went ahead and ate a 🍌 banana and 🥯 bagel so we'll see what happens.😐

Hi . I had surgery on large bowel before 17 years . And now i am having partial blockage. Do adhesion form after all these 17 years? I had no problems till today . my symptoms are only constipation. I have no pain , no swelling. I can poop only with laxatives .Can someone please answer me please i am very scared . I don't want to take surgery 🤕😭😭😭😭
Meet a doctor
Unlikely because it would have taken place within the first 4 years after surgery
My husband is in the hospital right now because of an SBO. What did I do wrong in feeding him? This never happened in the 17 years we were together. I make healthy meals in moderate proportion, and I try to serve a variety of foods. All I can think of what I did differently was to serve meatloaf, which I hardly ever make. Please, how is this caused - Was it indeed meatloaf? I slow cooked it in beer, it was really tender. It was not a heavy brick in any way. I just don't know what I did wrong.
No, it wasnt the meatloaf
@DeborahThird-og1uo Hahaha! I realize that now. They said it was caused by the intestinal scar tissue he has had since he was a baby. - Since he was a baby!? Sheesh!
My belly has suddenly become huge and swollen ! I mean HUGE! And hard. I’m worried I have a blockage but it’s something wrong.
Hope you’re doing better, Any update?
Mines also I've no idea what's going on it looks like I'm pregnant
Update?
I need to take laxatives because I will get so backed up

The only way to get rid of a small bowl is wait patiently on pain meds or have surgery to cut the scar tissue
How long is the wait
@@automotivetv9861 like 6-7 hours. Horrible to handle without pain meds.
What do you mean wait on pain meds? That makes it go away?
I am on Methadone and haven't pooped a nice bit in a while. My stomach hurts so bad the other day in ways and today I feel bloated
Im on subs... and cant go. Worst part is that i got shot so i get obstructions easily if i go nore than a couple days without using the bathroom
I have a question to which no one, including gastrenterologists, has been able to answer so far. So I'll try with you. :)
I'm 62, and have had very bad partial SBO's since I was about 12 (at least 30). This is the result of adhesions from multiple abdominal surgeries, starting when I was an infant.
To the question: What TRIGGERS SBO's from adhesions? I can go for years without one; other times I may have several in a year. (I think I fear them more than just about any other health issue!).
So, are they triggered by a certain movement I make? Stress? Increased inflammation? Something else? If I had a clue, I have a better chance of preventing them!
Thanks.
Help me I don't know wat to do should I call an ambulance
What happened?
T u ok?
U okay?
I suffer from IBS
My life…😫😫😫

Gotta go on liquid diet untill complete clear of obstruction
