Patient's question:
Baby is 40 days old. Since the full moon, they have been vomiting every time they eat. After vomiting, they cry and eat again, and almost every meal results in vomiting. Could it be due to hypertrophic pylorus? If so, how is it treated? Can it be treated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis can cause retching, but not all retching is caused by hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Functional vomiting, pyloric spasm, improper feeding, and gastroesophageal reflux can all cause many cases of vomiting, and it may not always be due to congenital hypertrophic pylorus. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If it can be diagnosed, it can be confirmed at the hospital. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required, which has a good effect. The doctor will address the situation accordingly.
