Diagnosis is usually made with an abdominal ultrasound that shows a target sign or bulls eye appearance. Treatment may involve an air or contrast enema, or surgery.

I had undergone this surgery. After surgery, everything is normal But some portion of my stitches have become infected during operation, which is yet to heal up despite every day dressing since last 8 mths. I do not know when my wound will heal up. Pl advise me. I am a senior citizen, and it is heard that intususception is rare for sr. Citizen.

Why males are more prone to intussusception than females?Thank you 😇

[@ezmed]

That is a great question and after some research the pathophysiology as to why there is a male predominance is not convincingly clear. Understanding the "why" is always good in medicine but this may be a case where it is not well understood. If any viewers have input, please share! Thank you 🙏🏻
