What is the top diagnosis for bowel obstruction in a 28-year-old male?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Bowel obstruction in a young person is very rare, unless the patient had prior surgeries and develop extensive adhesions(scar tissue). Other conditions but rare are congenital webs, similar to adhesions; tumors also can cause obstructions, but rare at this age.
