Human intestines are somewhat similar to these rubber tubes. First, they are soft. Second, the diameters of each intestinal segment are actually different, some are large and some are small. The result of such physiological and anatomical characteristics is that, for example, rubber tubes are easy to bend. If the skin happens to be dented, a small-diameter tube segment can be inserted directly into a larger-diameter lumen like a pen.
The common site of intussusception in infants is when the end of the ileum is inserted into the wide diameter of the cecum.
You may wonder why the intestines can be discounted? The intestine itself is a living thing with autonomic nerves and will move on its own. If there is an intestinal infection or autonomic nervous disorder or external injury, etc., its disordered activities will inevitably lead to sudden and unexpected disruptions.
Why is a baby¡¯s intestines so easily damaged?
I mentioned before that the child¡¯s digestive tract system is not fully developed. Adding complementary foods to children is also to train their digestive systems to adapt to more complex foods. Some children have poor adaptability, and factors such as colds and infections lead to intestinal disorders and they can only get sick.
If we must pursue it further, we can talk about the ileocecal part, which is the most common site of the disease in babies. 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 part. There is a physiological structure here in the ileocecal part called the ileocecal valve. It is a circular muscle on the intestinal wall. It is thick, wrinkled, has mucous membrane on the surface, and looks like two half-moons at the top and bottom. The purpose of this thing is to prevent the contents of the cecum from flowing back into the small intestine.
The ileocecal valve in infants is thicker, which can be called excessively thick in some children. A thicker ileocecal valve indicates a larger diameter of the cecal opening.
The mesentery of infants is relatively long. The mesentery is the peritoneum that fixes the intestines. The long mesentery means that the eldest son of the chain that binds the small intestine allows the small intestine to swing back and forth as it wants. The upper limit of mobility is high.
Under such comprehensive conditions, intussusception is more likely to occur.
Parents are right, mothers are right, grandma is right, they are all feeding their children according to science. Don't say that this child has a bad life or a long life. Because this disease is very common, not just one child. From a scientific point of view, this is an imperfect flaw in the evolution of the human body. No one is perfect, so don¡¯t be too demanding that humans should be perfect. Just like what doctors often say, no one will never get sick.
Standing outside the clinic, the child¡¯s grandmother wiped her eyes. The doctor¡¯s words cleared her name.
The child¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes were red. She asked just because she was afraid that she would be guilty.
Once a human cub gets sick, all adults are afraid of being guilty, and eventually light the fuse and trigger a war.
A good doctor thinks about parents, but actually thinks about children. If the parents are not harmonious within the family, and the child's survival depends entirely on the parent, will the child be okay? The children must suffer accordingly.
"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.
"Thank you to my classmate for being so cool and conscientious in comforting patients' families." Student Wei took a deep breath and felt that he needed to work harder. To be a master of academic knowledge, you must put your heart into consideration for others, and this skill must be practiced. No wonder I have long heard that Mr. Xie is very popular among patients and their families.
Classmate Duan Sanbao glanced at classmate Xie¡¯s profile from the corner of his eyes. If he was thinking deeply about something with his big round eyes, he turned around and continued to think like an ostrich in medicine. As the child's first doctor, he has a heavy responsibility as he holds a medical license.
