What is a perforated bowel?

A perforated bowel is a hole in the wall of the intestine.

It can be caused by a number of things, including blunt trauma, surgery, or a foreign object.

Symptoms of a perforated bowel include sudden abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Treatment for a perforated bowel

Treatment for a perforated bowel typically involves surgery to repair the hole.

In some cases, antibiotics may also be prescribed.

The outlook for a perforated bowel depends on the severity of the injury and the timeliness of treatment.
