Pyloric stenosis is a condition observed particularly in newborn babies and manifests with specific symptoms. These symptoms generally include:
* Vomiting: Post-feeding projectile vomiting, usually starting around 3 weeks of age, increasing in both volume and frequency over time. These vomits are bile-free, and the baby may feel hungry again and want to feed after vomiting. If left untreated, increased vomiting leads to electrolyte and fluid loss.
* Wrinkled Skin: Due to fluid loss, the baby's skin may appear wrinkled.
* Defecation Irregularities: A decrease in the frequency of defecation or sometimes mucous stools may be observed.
* Weight Loss/Failure to Gain Weight: Rapid weight loss in the baby or failure to achieve expected weight gain.
If any of these symptoms are observed in your baby, it is crucial to consult a pediatrician immediately.
