A condition where the intestines are partially blocked (e.g. by tumors or scarring from previous surgeries).
Treatment depends on the degree and location of the obstruction. In mild cases, fasting may be sufficient; this is done in the hospital with intravenous (IV) hydration and close monitoring. In severe cases, a tube may need to be inserted via the nose into the stomach to relieve pressure and pain. If the obstruction does not improve or worsens, surgery may be needed.
