Should i be worried if i had pyloric stenosis when i was little?

Probably not: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) affects babies in the first few weeks of life. After surgical correction with pyloromyotomy, babies are basically normal. They can feed fine, and the stomach empties fine. It would be very unusual for a middle-aged adult to have problems referable to having had HPS as a baby.

No.: Long term complications from treatment of pyloric stenosis are rare. Pyloric stenosis is transmissable and hereditary. Keep in mind if one of your newborn infants displays projectile vomiting between 2-8 weeks of life to consider pyloric stenosis as a possible cause.

No: Babies with surgery for pyloric stenosis should have no long-term effects from it.Sometimes babies after surgery will still have some vomiting related to gastroesophageal reflux but not gastric obstruction.In young children swallowing foreign body may have difficulty passing pylorus because channel may still have some relative narrowing allowing all liquids and chewed foods but not large fb.
