Long Term Effects
Posted , 1 user is following.
My son was diagnosed at 6 weeks and had surgery to correct it. The symptoms first appeared at 3 weeks the projectile vomiting. He was not breast fed so the next 3 weeks his formula was switched up only to have the same issues. No answers to his eating issues and finally after being a pound less than his birth weight, sunken soft spot and his eyes sunken in i demanded more. He was sent to a pediatric hospital where they did a sonagram and was able to diagnose him in a matter of minutes. He had pyloric stenosis and needed emergency surgery that day to correct the condition. What baffled medical personnel was he was a full term baby without a family history of this condition. They chalked it up
to inflammation and did surgery to correct the issue.
He had surgery and was deemed cured and was healthy thriving kid. However he has had issues since toddler age with passing of blood in his stool. The amount of blood he passes is obscene as his dad explained it looked like he killed a small animal. We have presented this evidence to his doctor only to be told start him miralax he has hemmorhoids.
My son is 17 and still passes blood in his stool regardless of stool softner or not. Somedays he is constipated and some days he does not know if he is going to make it restroom in time. We believed he had IBS with collitis.
We recently had a colonoscopy hoping for an answer only to find out his colon was normal. Relieved but he wants answers, the only thing that struck me was the medical professionals mentioning his pyloric stenosis. Is there a link to his issues? Did he develop issues later in life? Nobody knows but he is a 17 year old male embarassed of his issues wanting to know what causes the irregularity and blood his bowels. He was an infant that had corrective surgery for pyloric stenosis.
