Overview

Intussusception is a serious condition where one part of the intestine slides into an adjacent part, much like the segments of a telescope. This can lead to a blockage, preventing food or fluid from passing through. Intussusception can cause severe pain and requires prompt medical attention, in Faridabad Medfin offers advanced treatment options to manage and resolve intussusception effectively.

What is Intussusception?

Intussusception occurs when a segment of the intestine telescopes into an adjacent segment, causing a blockage. This condition can lead to swelling, inflammation, and reduced blood flow to the affected part of the intestine. It is most common in children but can also occur in adults.

What are the Causes?

Several factors can lead to the development of intussusception, including:

  • Viral Infections: Some viral infections can cause swelling of the intestines.
  • Polyps or Tumors: Abnormal growths can trigger intussusception.
  • Congenital Conditions: Certain congenital conditions can predispose individuals to intussusception.
  • Previous Intestinal Surgery: Scar tissue from past surgeries can lead to this condition.

What are the Symptoms?

Symptoms indicating the presence of intussusception include:

  • Severe Abdominal Pain: Sudden, cramping abdominal pain that comes and goes.
  • Nausea and Vomiting: Frequent episodes of nausea or vomiting.
  • Bloody Stool: Stools that contain blood or mucus.
  • Lethargy: General weakness or tiredness.
  • Abdominal Swelling: Noticeable swelling or a lump in the abdomen.

How is it Diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation by a Medfin specialist in Faridabad, including:

  • Physical Examination: Assessing the abdomen for tenderness, swelling, or a palpable lump.
  • Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, X-rays, or CT scans to visualize the intussusception and locate the blockage.
  • Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to check for signs of infection or dehydration.

What are the Complications if Left Untreated?

If left untreated, intussusception can lead to:

  • Severe Infection: Due to compromised blood flow and tissue death.
  • Perforation: A tear in the intestine that can lead to peritonitis, a life-threatening infection.
  • Bowel Obstruction: Complete blockage of the intestines.
