Intestinal spasms can cause what disease?

Intestinal spasms may cause irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal obstruction, colon cancer and other diseases.

1. Irritable bowel syndrome

Intestinal spasms may cause excessive contraction of intestinal smooth muscle, making it easier for the intestine to overreact to normal or mild stimuli, thus causing irritable bowel syndrome.

2. Intestinal obstruction

Severe intestinal spasms can lead to intestinal obstruction, causing partial or complete blockage of the intestinal lumen, while intestinal obstruction can cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, constipation and other symptoms, which should be treated promptly.

3. colon cancer

In some cases, long-term intestinal spasms may be related to colon cancer. Because intestinal spasms can interfere with normal intestinal motility, resulting in feces remaining in the intestine, increasing the risk of colon cancer.
