Intussusception | Diagnosis & Tests

How will my doctor know my child has intussusceptions?

Your doctor will note your child's symptoms and perform a physical exam. Your doctor may use an ultrasound (which uses sounds waves to create pictures) to see if intussusception is causing your child’s symptoms.
