What could cause narrowing of the arteries in the lower stomach area ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol buildup: Is usually responsible. It is most common in diabetics and persons with coronary artery disease, but can happen in anyone. It causes parts of the colon to die usually and a lot of stomach pain and sometimes rectal bleeding and that is how it is usually found.
