Which condition involves a blockage that hinders the normal movement of contents through the intestines, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension?
Intestinal obstruction is characterized by a blockage that prevents the normal flow of contents through the intestines. This can result in symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Causes can include adhesions, hernias, or tumors. Although peptic ulcer disease, appendicitis, and cholecystitis involve abdominal pain, they do not involve blockages in the intestines preventing the movement of contents.
