Patient's question:
Approximately 4.5 days, with bloating, constipation, and a feeling of needing to poop but unable to. The stool is not solid but not dry either. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it cannot be confirmed what illness it is, but the possibility of incomplete intestinal obstruction is relatively high. The cause of this condition is unclear. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a standing abdominal X-ray to check for signs of intestinal obstruction, such as fluid levels and dilated intestines, and undergo a general health check in the general surgery department to see if there are other potential causes of intestinal obstruction. Currently, the intestines are still open, though not fully, as evidenced by the ability to pass stools in small amounts and in an unformed state, indicating that it is not a complete intestinal obstruction.
