The majority of bowel sounds are normal; however, abnormal bowel sounds can provide important information regarding the bodys overall health. Placing a Bowel Stethoscope on a patients abdomen provides bowel sound biofeedback, which can be helpful in diagnosing conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, bowel obstruction, hernia, tumors, blood clots, and more. Nausea, presence or absence of regular bowel movements, vomiting, and/or gas must be evaluated in conjunction with the use of a Bowel Stethoscope to diagnose and treat related illnesses. Increased, or hyperactive, bowel sounds are often heard without the aid of a stethoscope. It is the combination of these sounds along with abnormal symptoms which makes a bowel stethoscope an invaluable tool for general practitioners as well as gastroenterologists.
