Strangulation occurs when a loop of the intestine is cut off from its blood supply. Strangulation occurs in about 25% of cases of small bowel obstruction. It is a serious condition that can progress to gangrene within six hours.

Yes, hemorrhage in the heart can potentially occur as a result of strangulation. Strangulation can lead to a lack of oxygen (asphyxia), which may cause cardiac stress and damage to the heart muscle.

However, the specific circumstances and mechanisms would vary based on the severity and nature of the strangulation.

Why do you bleed from your mouth when you have been strangled?

Bleeding from the mouth after being strangled can occur due to several factors, including trauma to the soft tissues of the throat and mouth, rupture of blood vessels, or damage to the mucous membranes. Strangulation can increase pressure in the head and neck, leading to hemorrhaging in these areas. Additionally, the physical impact of the strangulation can cause injuries to the gums, teeth, or oral cavity, contributing to bleeding.
