    I can't seem to find the term anywhere. So I can't help you. You could share what you know about it.

    It is spelled wrong. It is Intussusception , a condition in which the intestine slides into the adjacent intestine. It is serious and if it is happening to you it needs to be fixed asap. It will result in bowel obstruction and if left untreated can cause a rupture and then necrossis of the organs due to bacteria spilling out. If this is the case you will need to get this fixed. It can be repaired surgically.

    Sorry to be so graphic Kathy, but it is a serious condition and needs to be fixed. I hope you get better soon.
