Bowel Pain (Small and Large Intestine) Causes and Symptoms
Posted by Dr. Chris
The bowels (small and large intestines) occupy most of the abdominal cavity. The small intestine is about 20 feet (6 meters) long in adults. It is coiled in the middle of the abdomen. The large intestine is shorter at 5 feet (1.5 meters) and lies along the sides of the abdomen. Pain in the bowels can arise for several reasons ranging from blockages within it to disorders in movement within the bowels and diseases that affect the bowel walls. Location of Parts of the Bowel
It is important to understand the different parts of the bowel when looking at possible causes of bowel pain. The small intestine is divided into three segments, whereas there are four regions in the large intestine. The small intestine includes the: Duodenum which is a C-shaped short segment of the small intestine that leads from the stomach. It lies in the upper middle region of the abdomen.
