What occurs when a portion of the intestine is constricted inside a hernia cutting off it's blood supply?

When a portion of the intestine becomes constricted inside a hernia, it can lead to a condition known as strangulation. This occurs when the blood supply to that part of the intestine is cut off, which can result in tissue death (necrosis) if not addressed promptly. Strangulated hernias are considered a surgical emergency, as they can lead to severe complications like infection, sepsis, and perforation of the intestine. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to restore blood flow and remove any necrotic tissue.

I'm not certain but I believe that when you cut of the blood supply to a body part, the blood no longer gets pumped in and out of the area. The colour of blood without oxygen is purple. I believe that they turn purple because the blood supply has been cut and what blood is there has had all its oxygen absorbed. Due to the colour, it probably shows up through the skin easier.

What happens to an organ in your body if blood supply to it is cut off?

If blood supply to an organ is cut off, it can lead to tissue damage and cell death due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. This condition is known as ischemia. If left untreated, it can result in serious consequences such as organ failure or tissue necrosis. Treatment usually involves restoring blood flow to the affected organ as quickly as possible.
