An intestinal obstruction, or bowel obstruction, or intestinal stricture is a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine or colon; which stops or slows down the movement of food through the digestive tract. A common cause of bowel obstruction is strictures - a build-up of scar tissue inside the intestines. Bowel obstruction and/or intestinal stricture symptoms vary depending on the degree of intestinal obstruction, but commonly begin with abdominal pain, bloating, and cramping. If the stricture continues to narrow, symptoms progress to more severe pain and bloating, nausea and vomiting, and constipation. Intestinal strictures often result from a build up of thickened scar tissue as a result of chronic intestinal inflammation such as in inflammatory bowel disease (particularly Crohn’s disease or colitis), or from surgery.
