Symptoms of intestinal malformations in newborns

Neonatal intestinal malformation is a digestive tract disease that is very harmful to the physical health of young children. This disease can threaten the life safety of young children to a great extent. It is a very dangerous pediatric disease with a high mortality rate. So what are the characteristics of neonatal intestinal malformation? What symptoms can show that a child may have neonatal intestinal malformation? How to prevent the occurrence of intestinal malformations in newborns? Let’s learn about it below.

Most newborns with intestinal malformations have symptoms such as poor appetite, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting. The following are some common congenital digestive tract malformations. Congenital intestinal obstruction in newborns with digestive tract malformations is manifested by abdominal distension and vomiting within 1 to 2 days after birth. Emergency treatment should first be given continuous nasogastric tube suction to prevent vomiting, which can lead to aspiration pneumonia or further aggravation of abdominal distension due to respiratory distress, and then sent to a medical center for surgery. Other important measures include maintaining body temperature, intravenous supplementation of 10% glucose and electrolytes to prevent hypoglycemia, and prevention and control of acidosis and infection, so that the newborn can reach the best state for surgery. A newborn with a malformation of a certain system should be carefully examined for malformations of other systems, especially the central nervous system, heart and kidneys. The purpose of preoperative preparation is to enable the child to undergo surgery in the best condition and prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia that affects the efficacy of the operation. Fasting. Continuous double-lumen tube suction of the proximal esophageal atresia blind end to prevent saliva aspiration. The baby's position should be kept at 30°~40° with the head elevated and the right side lying position to facilitate gastric emptying and reduce the risk of inhalation of gastric acid through the fistula

Neonatal megacolon, also known as intestinal aganglionosis, is a common congenital intestinal malformation in children. It is caused by continuous spasm of the rectum or distal colon and fecal stagnation in the proximal colon, which causes hypertrophy and expansion of the intestine. Let me tell you what the symptoms of megacolon are in babies.

Steps/Methods:

1 The symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease are as follows: 1. The patient will suffer from constipation due to intestinal lesions. Generally, newborns will have meconium excreted within 48 hours after birth, but children with the disease will not defecate until 2-3 days or may not defecate at all and may also experience vomiting and abdominal distension. Enemas are often used to relieve bowel movements.

2 Because the child has long-term abdominal distension and cannot defecate normally, the child’s appetite will decrease and gradually lead to malnutrition. Children with this disease are usually small and have little energy. And because feces cannot be expelled, patients will have feces discharged during rectal examination.

3 Any disease may cause the onset of other diseases. Complications of congenital megacolon are relatively common and very scary, especially when they occur not long after the child is born. The child will suddenly deteriorate all over the body, with abdominal distension, vomiting, high fever and low blood pressure. If the family does not pay attention in time, the child's mortality rate is very high.

Note:

Newborns with megacolon are born with a congenital malformation, and the possibility of death from this disease is relatively high, so family members should pay attention to it. Let your child go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to solve the defecation problem and avoid leaving any sequelae.
