Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Please ask what to do if a baby with an anorectal fistula has feces that do not pass through the anus.Doctor's answer:
Surgery can be performed in 2-3 months. At this stage, the main focus is on monitoring the child's bowel movements. It may be helpful to dilate the fistula to assist with stool passage. This can be done using an anal dilator, which generally suffices.In your case, it may be caused by soft tissue injury. Treatment may include local massage, heat application, closed-loop therapy, acupuncture, and oral Chinese herbal medicine to promote blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods. Regular exercise is also recommended to strengthen the body.
