Patient's question:
Medical history: Born in October 2005, has been vomiting since birth, with vomit spraying from the mouth and nose. Underwent surgery at Huangshan City Hospital after two and a half months.Treatment history and effectiveness: After the surgery, there was some improvement, but the vomiting started again after a few months, though not as frequently. Multiple visits to the surgical doctor resulted in the same answer: "it will get better as you grow older." Over five years, there has been no improvement, and the condition has worsened.
Desired help: Wants to seek treatment at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou. Unsure if admission is possible, but hopes for assistance.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, from a medical perspective, congenital pyloric stenosis can only be cured through surgical treatment. Any invasive medical procedure carries risks. It is recommended to visit a general surgery doctor at a formal secondary or higher-level general hospital. The doctor will determine the treatment plan based on your condition. Don't worry, it can be cured after surgery. It requires general anesthesia, and there are risks, but medical technology has improved rapidly, and the techniques are now very mature. After surgery, the baby can usually pass gas 24 hours later and can start eating small amounts of liquid food. However, a feeding tube is generally needed to provide food.
