This article explores the macroscopic changes observed in the small intestine during the post-COVID-19 period. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, it has become increasingly evident that the virus can have a significant impact on various organs, including the gastrointestinal system. Recent studies have shown that the small intestine, a crucial component of the digestive tract, may undergo noticeable structural and functional alterations following a COVID-19 infection. This review delves into the clinical observations and research findings related to the post-COVID small intestinal changes, highlighting potential implications for long-term health and clinical management.
