An acute abdomen may be caused by something that blocks or ' obstructs' a part of the so that food and stools cannot pass. More common causes are:
- a ball or knot of roundworms ( Ascaris).
- a loop of gut that slips inside the part below it ( intussusception).

Almost any kind of acute abdomen may show some signs of obstruction. Because it hurts the damaged gut to move , it stops moving.

Signs of obstructed gut:

- steady , severe pain in the belly.
The child belly will be swollen, hard, and very tender. It hurts more when you touch it. He tries to protect his belly and keeps his legs double up. His belly is often ' silent'. ( when you put ear to it, you hear no sound of normal gurgles. ).

- The person will usually have constipation ( little or no bowel movements). If there is diarrhea, it is only a little bit. Sometimes all that comes out is some blood mucus.

- Sudden vomiting with great force! The vomit may shoot out a meter or more. It may have green bile in it it it smell and look like feces.

If you see any body with such signs get the person yo a hospital at once. His life is in danger and surgery may be needed.

Thanks for the enlightenment but the most important thing is how we should be able to prevent this, because this is the most easiest one as the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, because if we can be able to prevent this then obviously it may not happen to us in life and this will save us from the stress of going to the hospital and spending so much money trying to cure it.. Generally I believe some of the disease may be caused by infection and sometimes this also may be caused by type of food we eat , and so many other factors that may be unknown to us

The gut is an important part of the body and must always be taken care of and we should always be observant of some of the food we take in because there are some that may not agree to our body system .. it is necessary for us to identify some bad food and stop it as it can be dangerous . it is also necessary for us to report any symptom we experience to professional medical personnel to give us early treatment because in most infection and disease early treatment is always very important
