A member asked:
I'm 25 years old with lower abdominal pain had a ct scan and showed complete blockage will surgery be required to fix ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If complete, yes...: Gi blockage when complete & persistent is a surgical urgency. There are many possibilities however for it that may auto-correct or resolve--volvulus, intussuception, bolus impaction, infection or inflammation with occlusion. Distinguish obstruction from ileus, which is also expected to improve. On the other hand, adhesive bands, tumors, foreign bodies will likely need intervention to relieve.
