Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi, I was x rayed for abdomen problems, associated with bloating and constipation. The radiologist reported that I have distended loopa of bowel as revealed on the x rays. What does it mean?
Dear Ulf-Dieter:It basically means that the bowel ( intestine ) loops have dialated either due to an obstruction pr gas. You will need further investigations like a Ct to evaluate what is causing the dialation. I hope this helps. All the best. |
