The small intestine and large intestine play an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and normal bowel function. Disorders affecting the intestines may cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, blood in stool, weight loss, anaemia, or changes in bowel habits. Some intestinal disorders are functional and do not damage the bowel, while others may cause inflammation, ulcers, narrowing, bleeding, or long-term complications. Persistent or recurrent symptoms should be evaluated to identify the underlying cause and begin appropriate treatment. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and management of intestinal disorders using blood and stool tests, colonoscopy, biopsy, advanced imaging, and individualized medical treatment.
What is Intestinal Obstruction?
Intestinal obstruction occurs when food, fluid, and gas cannot pass normally through the intestine. It may be caused by previous abdominal surgery, hernia, tumour, inflammation, bowel twisting, strictures, or severe constipation. It may be partial or complete and can become a medical emergency.
