Blockage

A blockage occurs when a passage in the body, such as blood vessels or intestines, becomes obstructed, preventing normal flow. This can be caused by factors like fatty deposits, blood clots, or foreign objects. Blockages can reduce or stop the flow of blood, air, or contents, potentially leading to pain, organ damage, or other health issues. The severity depends on the location and size of the blockage. Detecting and treating blockages promptly is important to restore proper function and prevent complications.
