Pyloric stenosis also known as stomach stenosis is a problem that affects babies among birth and 6 months old enough and causes strong vomiting that can prompt dehydration. It is the second most regular problem requiring surgery in newborns.
The lower segment of the stomach that connects to the small intestine is known as the pylorus. In pyloric stenosis, the muscles in this piece of the stomach broaden, narrowing the launch of the pylorus and ultimately keeping food from moving from the stomach to the intestine.
Because the stomach opening becomes hindered and babies start vomiting, several problems can occur. The most serious problem is parchedness. At the point when an infant vomits consistently, the person won't get enough fluids to meet his or her wholesome needs. Babies have smaller bodies than adults and can't endure losing liquid as easily as adults can. Minerals that the body needs to stay solid, such as potassium and sodium, are also lost as the infant vomits. Babies who come up short on the perfect measure of water and minerals in their bodies can turn out to be sick rapidly. Another problem that occurs is weight reduction. A child who vomits most of (or the entirety of) his or her feedings won't have satisfactory nourishment to put on weight and stay sound.
The most well-known symptom noted in a child with pyloric stenosis is strong, shot vomiting. This sort of vomiting is unique in relation to a "wet burp" that a child may have toward the finish of a taking care of.
Different symptoms may include:
The symptoms of pyloric stenosis may resemble different conditions or clinical problems. Always consult your kid's physician for a diagnosis.
