Twisted bowel is a change in the intestinal shape, either in the small or large intestine, which may result in bowel obstruction. An abnormal twisting portion in the small intestine is referred to as small bowel volvulus, while a twisted portion in the large intestine is called colonic volvulus. Though this syndrome occurs rarely, it is a serious medical problem that should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. A delay in medical attention increases the risk of morbidity and mortality of people with a twisted bowel. As per medical data, the death rate of patients suffering from twisted bowel is about 37 percent. Symptoms The symptoms of twisted bowel syndrome may vary based on the affected portion and extent of severity. In mild cases, symptoms may come and go without causing severe health conditions. However, if the problem persists for a longer period, it may block the supply of oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the intestinal portion and remaining digestive tract. This severe medical condition is also referred to as strangulation. And if strangulation is left untreated, it may result in bowel necrosis (death of cells). The most commonly manifested symptoms are nausea, dizziness, vomiting, swollen stomach (even without eating), stomach pain, bloating, constipation, difficulty in bowel movement, and bloody stool. Also, the physical appearance of skin in the abdominal portion appears tender and distended. Some people with report backache, shortness of breath, and intense feeling of sleepiness.
