Like your other organs, your digestive system needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly. A diminished blood flow to your small intestine or colon is called intestinal ischemia (is-KE-me-uh). Intestinal ischemia can cause pain and make it difficult for your intestines to do their job. In severe cases, loss of blood flow to the intestines can lead to damaged or dead intestinal tissue, not unlike what happens to the heart during a heart attack. And like a heart attack, intestinal ischemia can be fatal. But you can receive effective treatments for intestinal ischemia. The most critical factor in effectively treating intestinal ischemia is recognizing the early symptoms and getting medical help right away.
