Bowel perforation, known as intestinal perforation, is a condition where the wall of the intestine is punctured or torn.
Bowel perforation can cause the contents of the digestive system to leak into the abdominal cavity, which can lead to infections and a condition called peritonitis.
SYMPTOMS OF BOWEL PERFORATION INCLUDE:
- Abdominal Pain: Severe and sudden onset of abdominal pain is one of the significant symptoms of bowel perforation.
- Abdominal Distension: The leakage of bowel contents into the abdominal cavity can lead to swelling.
- Fever: An increase in body temperature can be a sign of infection.
- Nausea and Vomiting: These may occur due to issues related to the digestive system.
WHAT CAUSES BOWEL PERFORATION?
- Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Conditions such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
- Reduced Blood Flow: Circulatory problems or other factors can cause the intestinal wall to weaken.
- Foreign Bodies: Foreign objects entering the intestines.
- Surgical Intervention or Medical Procedures: Damage to the intestinal wall during surgeries or medical procedures.
- Trauma: Blows to the abdominal region or accidents.
