A member asked:

Intestinal block will it pass on its own?

Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

It depends.: ... on what is causing the blockage. If you feel you may have intestinal blockage, especially if you have severe abdominal pain or fever associated with it, I would go to the emergency room or see your doctor immediately. Good luck.
