Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a disorder in which the intestine behaves as if it were blocked, with symptoms of obstruction, but without an actual physical barrier preventing the passage of contents. The problem lies in motility, that is, in the movements that propel food along the digestive tract.
Common symptoms: Abdominal distension and pain, nausea, constipation, and a feeling of early satiety that tend to recur.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies the functioning of the digestive system; the general surgeon and the oncologist may take part depending on the evaluation of each case.
When to seek care? If you have persistent digestive discomfort that resembles an obstruction, it is advisable that a professional evaluate it in detail.
