rushed to the hot search on Weibo
According to the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, the giant panda "Qingqi", who was in extremely critical condition due to rare intestinal obstruction complicated by intussusception, left us on March 23. Giant panda intussusception is a more dangerous acute abdomen than intestinal obstruction, which can easily cause intestinal perforation, intestinal necrosis, peritonitis, and even shock, and the rescue time is very short.
so
Can people also suffer from intestinal obstruction complicated by intussusception?
intestinal obstruction complicated by intussusception,
How dangerous is it, exactly?
——Popular Science of Maternal and Child Health——
01What is intussusception?
Intussusception refers to intestinal obstruction caused by a section of intestine and its corresponding mesentery sleeved into the adjacent intestinal lumen, and is one of the common acute abdomen in infancy and early childhood. It is more common in children between 4 months and 2 years old, and children who develop the disease after the age of 3 should pay more attention to whether there is a primary disease. It occurs in all seasons, and the incidence is higher in late spring and early summer.
Clinical manifestations: most babies present with paroxysmal crying and restlessness, jam-like stool, abdominal sausage-like mass; 80% of children have vomiting during secondary obstruction, and in the early stage, gastric contents, such as milk, milk lumps and food residues, etc., can contain bile, and may vomit fecal-like fluid and other intestinal obstruction symptoms; in the late stage, there will even be symptoms such as high fever, severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, drowsiness, etc.; some small babies do not cry, but show listlessness, indifferent expression, and serious illness.
therefore
Attention mothers
If you find that your baby has the above symptoms,
Please seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying your condition!
02Why does intussusception occur?
Intussusception is divided into primary and secondary, and primary intussusception is the most common, but the etiology of primary intussusception in children has not been clarified, and it is speculated that its onset is related to intestinal peristalsis rhythm disorder, and dietary changes, viral infection, enteritis, and abnormal anatomy of ileocecal region are the predisposing factors of intussusception.
1. Sudden changes in diet: One of the triggers for the onset of intussusception in children is sudden changes in diet. At the age of 4 to 10 months, infants and young children are in the alternating period of breastfeeding, supplemental milk powder, feeding complementary foods and other feeding methods, and some children have difficulty in adapting to the sudden change in dietary patterns, resulting in intussusception.
2. Anatomical factors of ileocecal part: 90% of infants have a length of >1cm, which is labial-like and protrudes into the cecum, coupled with the abundance of lymphoid tissue in this area, it is easy to cause congestion, edema and hypertrophy after being stimulated by inflammation or food, and intestinal peristalsis is easy to move the ileocecal office forward and stretch the intestinal tube to form a susception.
3. Viral infection: Children infected with adenovirus or rotavirus may lead to acute intussusception.
4. Genetic factors: Some children with intussusception have parents who have also had this disease when they were young.
5. Weather: In clinical practice, it will also be found that weather changes such as cloudy days and rain will also increase the number of children with intussusception.
Secondary intussusception is mostly caused by organic lesions, with Merkel's diverticulum and intestinal polyps being the most common, followed by abdominal purpura, intestinal duplication malformation, and lymphoma. If left untreated, mortality is extremely high.
03How can parents prevent intussusception in children?
To prevent intussusception, it is necessary to strengthen health management, improve body resistance, and avoid intestinal infection and intestinal dysfunction from various aspects such as diet, warmth, and hygiene.
1. Pay attention to weather changes and children's comfort, and increase or decrease clothes in time to avoid children catching colds.
2. Pay attention to keeping warm when sleeping to prevent children from catching a cold and causing diarrhea. At the same time, attention should be paid to prevent viral infection, so as not to cause intestinal dysfunction in children and cause intussusception.
3. Pay attention to dietary hygiene and dietary rules, because infants and young children are the most common people for intussusception, so in the process of adding complementary food, we should follow the principle of gradual progress to avoid affecting digestive function and intestinal dysfunction and intussusception.
The doctor has something to say
