Pyloric stenosis is a significant condition affecting infants, characterized by symptoms such as vomiting, constipation, and weight loss. Early diagnosis can significantly reduce potential complications and the distress experienced by the infant. Therefore, recognizing the symptoms of pyloric stenosis and seeking timely medical attention is critically important.
Symptoms typically begin around the 4th to 5th weeks in infants, though in some cases they may appear as early as the 3rd week.
Key symptoms include:
* Vomiting (especially projectile)
* Constipation
* Weight loss
