Pyloric Stenosis is a condition in infants where the muscle at the outlet of the stomach (pylorus) becomes abnormally thick, blocking food from entering the small intestine. It usually presents in the first few weeks of life and causes forceful vomiting, dehydration and poor weight gain. With timely diagnosis and a simple, safe surgical procedure, babies recover quickly and return to normal feeding within a short time.

What Happens in Pyloric Stenosis?

In this condition, the pyloric muscle gradually tightens, preventing milk from passing into the intestine. This leads to persistent vomiting after feeds, visible stomach waves and increasing hunger despite poor feeding. Early detection ensures fast and effective treatment.
