Babies who keep crying or vomiting repeatedly, and those who have been sick for a longer time will also pass dark red blood stools, which is actually an early indication of intestinal entrapment. If not detected early and treated in time, the blood circulation of the intestinal tube will be blocked and the intestinal wall will be necrotic and perforated, which will endanger the life. There are four major signs of early manifestations of intestinal entrapment: 1. paroxysmal crying Because the infant will not complain of abdominal pain, it is manifested by sudden crying, leg flexion, pale face, abdominal pain can still play or sleep when relieved. After repeated episodes, the infant will become gradually worse, drowsy, pale, depressed or even in shock.
2, vomiting The infant will vomit soon after the onset of paroxysmal crying, initially with milk or food, and later with grass-green bile, or even vomit a fecal-smelling liquid.
3.Blood in stool A few hours after the onset of the disease, dark red blood or mucus stool, like jam, and sometimes dark red blood or fresh blood stool may be discharged.
4, abdominal mass The site of intestinal mass depends on the point of entry and the degree of entry, with the right lower abdomen or right upper abdomen being the most common. At the beginning of the disease, when abdominal pain is suspended and the abdominal muscles are relaxed, the child’s abdomen is felt in the shape of sausage or banana-like medium hard, slightly elastic, smooth surface, slightly movable, and painful lump, which is the most valuable sign for diagnosing pediatric intussusception.
Parents should consider the possibility of intussusception if they find the above four signs in their children, and send them to the hospital immediately for examination, and once diagnosed, enemas must be carried out immediately, and if necessary, surgical reset.
