intestinal blockage

Gut pathway blocked

An intestinal blockage is an obstruction that prevents food, liquid, or gas from passing through the digestive tract normally.

Causes include scar tissue, tumors, hernias, or twisted bowel.

Symptoms typically involve severe cramping, vomiting, and inability to pass stool.

A complete blockage is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
