Hello, folks. My friend was operated last night in the hospital. Doctors said he had intussusception. I wonder whether it is possible that this condition is caused by Meckel’s diverticulum. I know that he had had this diagnosis before. I would like to hear your opinions. They will be more than welcomed. Bye!
Hi. Meckel’s diverticulum represents a bulge in the wall of certain parts of intestines. It can usually be without any symptoms. Many times it is discovered by accident. Some doctors don’t treat it at all if it is without symptoms. However, it can cause some complications. Intussusceptions are one of them. Intussusception is more characteristic for adults. This happens when one part of bowel slides into a next one. It is a very dangerous complication. It is better for your friend to get operated.
