What is "volvulus"?
Volvulus is a condition where a part of the intestine twists or rotates around itself, causing a blockage. This can lead to symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Volvulus is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent damage to the intestine and other complications. Treatment usually involves surgery to untwist the intestine and restore normal blood flow. In some cases, a portion of the intestine may need to be removed if it has been damaged due to the twisting. Early recognition and quick treatment are essential for the successful management of volvulus.
