What causes intestinal infarction?

Intestinal infarction generally refers to intestinal obstruction, which is mainly related to mechanical factors, dynamic factors and blood circulation factors.

1. Mechanical factors

When there is fecal mass, foreign body or tumor in the intestinal tract, it can cause intestinal stenosis or blockage, leading to intestinal contents passage disorder, and then cause intestinal obstruction.

2. Dynamic factors

When infection, inflammation or surgery stimulate nerves in the intestinal tract, it can cause intestinal muscle function disorder. With intestinal peristalsis loss or intestinal spasm, it can lead to contents unable to operate normally and form intestinal obstruction.

3. Blood circulation factors

When mesenteric vascular embolism occurs, due to intestinal wall blood circulation disorder, intestinal wall paralysis, reduced peristaltic ability, and then intestinal obstruction.
