Volvulus symptoms?

summary

Volvulus is caused by the rotation of a certain segment of the intestinal loop along a fixed point. It is often because the intestinal loop and its mesentery are too long. After volvulus, the intestinal cavity is compressed and narrowed, causing obstruction, torsion and compression, affecting the blood supply of the intestinal canal. Therefore, the intestinal obstruction caused by volvulus is mostly strangulated. Volvulus symptoms? Let's talk about it.
