Suggest Treatment For Bloating, Constipation And Distended Stomach

I have had bloating, constipation, distended stomach upset stomach, slight nausea. How can I tell if I have scar tissue blockage causing these conditions. I have had emergency surgery on my stomach for intestinal bleeding from a car accident and an emergency C-section with vertical cut from belly button to pubic area. I have had these issues for several years.

Hi First of all LSCS is generally an extra peritoneal surgery. So This may not cause obstructive symptoms you are worried about. Secondly, even if the peritoneum is opened for the some reason, it generally donot cause intestinal obstruction unless you have intestinal adhesions inside your abdomen.
Yes, your symptoms may be suggestive of subacute obstruction. You may get your X ray abdomen in standing position done. The Radiologist or a surgeon would tell you if you need to worry about the obstruction and may advise you for laparoscopic evaluation....
