I am not sure but i know of someone who has a strange condition she
thinks is a partial obstruction. On the same day, once every month,
more severe or not, (sometimes only 1-2 days off) a condition appears
causing a massive gas increase in the bowels. then a massive swelling
or inflammation occurs where bras, underwear, pajamas, and pants are too
tight leaving marks. the dr.s have checked for 1 thing-- cysts on
ovaries some there but not significant and talk of possible
diverticulitis. the only relief comes when slowly the gas gets
realeased( tapping on bowels or just waiting it out) and until then she
feels sick, full, tired and exhausted. any suggestions or medical
terminology would be appreciated. during this time it seems bowel
movements and bladder movements are slowed down and bowel movements
stop. 4 days until all air is released and the condition is gone.
