blockage in small intestine symptoms
Blockage in the small intestine causes intense episodes of abdominal pain and vomiting that may lead to dehydration and shock. Symptoms (intractable constipation and pain) develop more slowly in large-bowel (colon) obstruction. Blockage of the small intestine is much more common than blockage of the large intestine. A partial blockage that allows only liquid to pass can result in diarrhea.
