Diagnostic Questions for Partial Bowel Obstruction
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you feeling nauseous or have you been vomiting?
- Do you feel that your abdomen or stomach is bloated?
- Does your nausea decrease after vomiting?
- Do you have discomfort in the upper abdomen, like an upset tummy?
Treatment of Partial Bowel Obstruction
Treatment depends on the degree and location of the obstruction. In mild cases, fasting may be sufficient; this is done in the hospital with intravenous (IV) hydration and close monitoring. In severe cases, a tube may need to be inserted via the nose into the stomach to relieve pressure and pain. If the obstruction does not improve or worsens, surgery may be needed.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
