The human intestine is a bit like these rubber tubes. First, it is soft, and second, the diameter of each section of the intestine is actually different, some are large and some are small. As a result of this physiological and anatomical characteristic, the rubber tube is easy to bend. If the skin happens to be concave, the small diameter section can be directly inserted into the large diameter tube cavity like a pen.
A common site of intussusception in infants is when the distal end of the ileum is inserted into the wide opening of the cecum.
You may wonder why the intestines can be bent? The intestines are living things with autonomic nerves and can move on their own. If there is an intestinal infection, autonomic nerve disorder, or external injury, its activity disorder will inevitably cause sudden and unexpected bending.
Why are babies’ intestines particularly prone to folding?
As mentioned before, the digestive system of children is not fully developed. Giving children complementary foods is also to train their digestive system to adapt to more complex foods. Some children have poor adaptability, and factors such as colds and infections lead to intestinal disorders, which can only make them sick.
If we must go into details, we can talk about the ileocecal region, which is the most common site of this disease in infants. The ileum is the end of the small intestine, and the cecum is the beginning of the large intestine. The place where the two meet is called the ileocecal region. There is a physiological structure in the ileocecal region called the ileocecal valve. It is a circular muscle on the intestinal wall, which is relatively thick and wrinkled, with a mucous membrane on the surface, and looks like two half-moons. The purpose of this thing is to prevent the contents of the cecum from flowing back into the small intestine.
The ileocecal valve is thicker in infants and can be excessively thick in some children. A thick ileocecal valve means that the diameter of the cecum opening is larger.
The mesentery of the small intestine of an infant is relatively long. The mesentery is the peritoneum that fixes the intestines. The length of the small intestinal mesentery means that the chain that ties the small intestine is long, allowing the small intestine to swing as it pleases, and the upper limit of its mobility is high.
Under such combined conditions, intussusception is more likely to occur.

The parents are right, the mother is right, the grandmother is right, they are all feeding the child according to science. Don't say that this child has a bad life and will not grow up well. Because this disease is very common, it is not just one child. From a scientific point of view, this is an imperfect defect in the evolution of the human body. No one is perfect, don't be too demanding of humans to grow up perfectly. Just like what doctors often say, no one will never get sick.
The child's grandmother was standing outside the clinic wiping her eyes. The doctor's words cleared her of the charges.
The child's mother's eyes were red, and she asked further questions only because she was afraid that she was guilty.
Once the human cubs fall ill, all the adults are afraid that they are guilty, and eventually the fuse is lit to trigger a war.
A good doctor thinks for the parents, but actually thinks for the children. If the parents are not harmonious within the family, the children will depend on the parents for survival. How can the children be healthy? The children will suffer.
"Thank you, doctor. What should my son do now?" The child's mother couldn't help but hold Xie Wanying's hand tightly and said.
This student Xie is amazing, he is very good at comforting the patients' families. Student Wei took a deep breath and felt that he needed to work harder. The knowledge of a top student should be put into the heart of caring for others, this skill needs to be practiced. No wonder I have heard that student Xie is very popular among patients and their families.
Duan Sanbao glanced at Xie's profile from the corner of his eye. His big round eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and when he turned his head back, he continued to think about medicine in an ostrich-like way. As the child's first doctor, he had a great responsibility as a licensed physician.
