What is "intestinal obstruction"?

Intestinal obstruction is a condition where something blocks the normal flow of food, fluids, or gas through the intestines. This can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or the inability to pass gas. Intestinal obstruction can be caused by various factors, including scar tissues, tumors, or twisting of the intestine. It is a serious condition that requires medical attention. Treatment may involve fluids given through a tube in the arm and bowel rest, or surgery to remove the blockage and repair any damaged tissue. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications such as a hole in the intestine or tissue death.
