A member asked:
I had a small perforation to my bowel & it was treated with antibiotics, is there a chance that the hole can open back up again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: There are some causes of perforation that may be recurrent, but in general the answer is no. You should generally be aware if you have one of those conditions such as crohn's disease. Check with your doc.
