CROHN'S DISEASE / ULCERATIVE COLITIS COMMUNITY
Ruptured Colon

Ruptured Colon

I had a omental fat patch placed on my ruptured colon (tranverse) instead of having a colostomy done cos the doctor thought i was young and wanted to save me the trauma of having a colostomy.  According to his report, i had an uneventful recvovery and he pronounced me in the pink of digestive health 2 months later.
Will the ruptured section easily rupture again due to stress, infections, etc?
Also, why was i feeling so cold and shivering so badly a few hours after my colon ruptured?  Was i going into septic shock or hypovolemic shock?
