5. Vomiting
When a person has a blockage in the bowel it can be small and cause nausea. If the blockage becomes larger or if nausea becomes severe, it can cause a person to vomit. Vomiting may just be a one-time event caused by eating something that does not settle right within the stomach. However, recurrent vomiting can be caused by other underlying medical conditions and really needs to be discussed with your doctor.
When the bowel is obstructed, the body will try to get rid of waste in whatever way that it can. When it cannot get rid of the waste through the normal path through the bowels, it will seek other paths. When frequent vomiting occurs it can cause a person to become dehydrated. If dehydration is left untreated it can become deadly. A person who is frequently vomiting needs medical attention to determine the cause.
