Intussusception Treatment in Bangalore with Medfin

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 Bangalore Medfin offers advanced treatment options to manage and resolve intussusception effectively.

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?
