Patient's question:
After the child was born, they have been crying non-stop. The doctor examined the child and said that the child has developed a newborn gastric perforation. I want to know, what causes newborn gastric perforation?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for gastric perforation in newborns, and the common causes mainly include two. One is due to poor development of the fetal gastric wall, making it excessively weak, which leads to the occurrence of gastric perforation. The other reason is due to asphyxia or other diseases causing stress ulcers in the newborn's stomach, resulting in gastric perforation. The most likely cause of gastric perforation in newborns is a defect in the gastric wall muscle layer.
