Total blockage of the ileocecal valve can lead to bowel obstruction, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. The ileocecal valve regulates the flow of digested material from the small intestine to the large intestine, so blockage can prevent proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, increased pressure can result in complications such as perforation or infection of the bowel. Prompt medical intervention is necessary to address the blockage and prevent serious complications.
