Abdominal Adhesions Symptoms
Author: mzPOTTER
In most people, abdominal adhesions do not cause any symptoms. Adhesions that partially block the intestine can occasionally cause intermittent attacks of abdominal cramping.
Bowel obstruction can cause the following symptoms:
* Severe abdominal cramps
* Nausea and vomiting
* Swelling of the abdomen (abdominal distension)
* Inability to pass gas and constipation
* Signs of dehydration such as dry skin, thirst, decreased urination, rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure
If the bowel becomes strangulated, people develop severe abdominal pain. The abdomen becomes inflamed and sensitive to light touch.
