Pyloric Stenosis

Pyloric stenosis is a condition primarily affecting infants, causing the narrowing of the pylorus, a muscular valve between the stomach and small intestine. It typically emerges within the first weeks of life, with common symptoms including forceful vomiting, persistent hunger, and weight loss. Surgery is the standard and effective treatment, where a small incision is made to release the tight pyloric muscle. If you suspect your infant has pyloric stenosis, with these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. A healthcare provider, like Dr. Randy Lehman at Liberty Clinic, specializes in pediatric surgeries and ensures the best care for your child's specific needs. Timely consultation is vital to address pyloric stenosis and provide the most appropriate care.
