Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. What is pediatric intussusception?Doctor's answer:
Acute intussusception is common clinically, while chronic intussusception is usually secondary. Acute intussusception is a disease specific to infancy, most commonly seen in infants aged 4 to 10 months. After the age of 2, the incidence gradually decreases with increasing age. It may be related to upper respiratory infections and lymph node viral infections.Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
