rectal intussusception???

[melliemoo]

Hello all!!

Im new here. Im Mel and am 28yrs old and live in the UK.I have been trying for ages to find a site like this one!! I have had alot of past problems with my bowel and bladder. I have some investigative surgery a week ago and was told i have a 'full thickness rectal intussusception with a poor anterior aspect of the sphincter' What does this mean? When i google this it comes up with 'intussusception is rarely seen in adults and is generally associated with tumours and cancer???!!!' This hasd really scared me and surgeon not really clear about things and im going in for surgery in few weeks time,he said i need this asap!!

Please help me understand what is going on,if you can!!

Many thanks.xxx

Hello how r u? Did u have the surgery? Did they remove part of your bowel and leave rest?
I 2 googled Intussusception and said in adults rare. Plus might be tumour or cancer. What was the cause of yours? I had a colonoscopy and this was on my report. Yet 2 c hospital after this colonoscopy.

Like 2 chat re this if u can please. Like u think why this as not common. They kept saying IBS 2 me.

I have underactive thyroid. Plus uticaria.

Take allergy tablets 4 years and levothyroxine 4 years.

Told few days ago my thyroid antibodies very high need bloid test again that my body is attacking my thyroid.

What caused your Intussusception?

Hope u r ok after surgery.
