When an ileus does not resolve, it can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction, which may cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension. Prolonged ileus can also result in dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition due to impaired digestion and absorption. In severe cases, ischemia or perforation of the bowel may occur, leading to a life-threatening infection or peritonitis. Medical intervention, including surgery, may be necessary to address the underlying cause and restore normal bowel function.
