What's wrong with small intussusception?

Small intestine intussusception may be related to factors such as infection, intestinal space-occupying lesions, and imperfect intestinal development.

1. Infection

When the small intestine is infected by bacteria or viruses, intestinal spasm can occur under the stimulation of inflammation, and intestinal rhythm changes. Small intestine intussusception is prone to occur.

2. Intestinal space-occupying lesions

When there are space-occupying lesions such as polyps and tumors in the small intestine, the intestinal wall can be pulled, and the proximal intestine will be intussuscepted into the distal intestine under the push of intestinal peristalsis.

3. Intestinal development is imperfect

For infants and young children, due to the relatively long length of the intestine and the imperfect development of the intestinal system, abnormal rhythm can easily occur during intestinal peristalsis, resulting in small intestine intussusception.
