Bowel Obstruction

Bowel obstruction occurs when there is a blockage in the intestines, preventing food, fluids, and gas from moving through the digestive tract. This can happen for various reasons, such as severe constipation, tumors, or inflammation. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and the inability to pass stool or gas. It is a serious condition that often requires medical attention, as prolonged obstruction can lead to complications like tissue damage or infection. Treatment may include surgery or other interventions to remove the blockage and restore normal intestinal function.
