Pediatric intussusception is a phenomenon in which part of the intestinal canal and its corresponding mesentery are snapped into the adjacent intestinal canal, and it is a common disease in infants and children within 2 years of age, especially in children aged 4 to 10 months. This is because the junction of small and large intestine is not fully developed in infants and toddlers, and when they encounter sudden changes in dietary structure, intestinal diseases such as enteritis, or respiratory infections, their resistance is weak, which can easily cause intestinal dysfunction and abnormal peristalsis, thus triggering the occurrence of intussusception.
The possibility of automatic reset after intussusception is very small, the intestinal tube is squeezed and blood circulation is impaired, the intestinal wall becomes edematous and congested, narrowing the intestinal cavity, leading to intestinal obstruction, and over time, the intestinal tube will become ischemic, necrosis or even intestinal perforation.
When intussusception occurs, the baby will generally have the following performance: 1, paroxysmal abdominal pain and crying: due to the characteristics of intestinal peristalsis, when the peristaltic wave reaches the site of the sleeve, pain will occur, so, when intussusception occurs, playing baby will suddenly cry a lot, after a while, the child is playing again as usual, after a period of time, abdominal pain again, so repeated episodes The pain is accompanied by pale, irritable crying and involuntary bending of the legs to the abdomen; 2. vomiting: after a period of abdominal pain, there will be vomiting, at the beginning, the vomit is mostly undigested milk or other food in the stomach, which can contain green bile, and at the later time, due to intestinal blockage, fecal-like vomit can be seen; 3. jam-like blood stool: about 6 hours after the onset After about 6 hours after the onset of the disease, children with intussusception can have dark red jam-like stool, or fresh blood stool or blood water, generally without odor, without self defecation, the finger stained with blood during anal examination, which is due to the impaired blood circulation in the intestinal wall, so that the mucosal exudate blood mixed into the intestinal mucus with the feces; 4, salami-like mass: in most cases, we can touch the right upper abdomen or abdomen of the baby with intussusception When pressed, the child will cry more. If parents find that their child has the above symptoms, it is best to send him/her to the hospital as soon as possible to ask a professional doctor to make a diagnosis, so as not to miss the best time for treatment.
