Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis β How to Recognize & Treat It (Complete Video on YouTube)
One of the most common surgical problems in newborns is Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis β a condition where the passage from the stomach to the intestine becomes too narrow, blocking food.
π How to recognize it?
β
Forceful (projectile) vomiting after every feed
β
Baby remains hungry and wants to feed again
β
Weight loss and dehydration
β
Visible movement of stomach muscles after feeding
π How is it treated?

A simple minimal invasive surgery (Pyloromyotomy) corrects the narrowing permanently.

Babies recover quickly and start feeding normally within a day or two.
If your baby is vomiting after every feed, consult a Pediatric Surgeon immediately β early treatment ensures a healthy start!
