Perforation of the colon or other part of the gastrointestinal tract is a medical emergency that often requires surgical repair. A patient with a perforated colon can present with symptoms such as bowel obstruction, pain with fever or chills, increased white blood cell count, nausea, diarrhea or constipation. Other symptoms include bloody stool, fatigue and jaundice.
Another condition that can cause rupture of the colon is colon cancer. Colon cancer occurs when small growths (known as polyps) begin to divide more rapidly than normal. The tumors then can cause the rupture of the organ by causing swelling and pressure, which can also lead to fecal impaction.
