What should I do if I can’t pass stools due to bloating?

Flatulence and inability to pass stools may be caused by poor diet, gastritis or intestinal obstruction, etc. General treatment, medication and surgery can be chosen to treat the cause of the disease. 1. Poor diet: irregular diet or eating spicy and stimulating food will easily irritate the stomach, which is not conducive to the normal digestion of food, leading to the accumulation of food and gas, resulting in symptoms of flatulence and inability to pass stools. Patients should strictly control their diet, eat small meals, and eat light and nutritious food. 2. Gastritis: Gastritis is caused by bacterial infection of the stomach, and the inflammation will stimulate the gastric mucosa to secrete more gastric acid, which is not conducive to the normal function of the stomach, and can also cause symptoms of flatulence and inability to pass stools. Patients can take metronidazole, tinidazole and omeprazole and other drugs for treatment. 3. Intestinal obstruction: Intestinal obstruction will cause pressure on the intestinal tract, so that the contents of the intestinal tract can not be discharged from the body in time, inducing gas production, can also cause the above symptoms. Patients can take lactulose and senna under the guidance of the doctor and other medications, if necessary, surgical resection. There are many other causes of flatulence, so it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to complete the relevant examinations and choose the appropriate method of treatment.
