Please tell me what can i do for blocked bowels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is a true: And complete intestinal obstruction, surgery is needed. If it is constipation, laxatives and enemas will usually suffice. But there are other conditions, such as pseudo obstruction and adynamic ileus, that can mimic 'blocked bowels' so it is important that you consult a doctor for specific recommendations in your case.
