Can you have bowel movement if ileus?

No, it is not possible to have a bowel movement if you have ileus. Ileus is a condition in which there is a blockage in the intestines, preventing the passage of food and waste. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including inflammation, scarring, or a physical obstruction. When ileus occurs, the muscles of the intestines become paralyzed, which means that they cannot contract and move waste along. As a result, stool becomes backed up in the intestines and the person is unable to have a bowel movement.
