| | Pyloric Stenosis |
 | | Pyloric stenosis is a condition that affects infants. | | | Although no scientific studies have evaluated the effectiveness of massage in the treatment or prevention of pyloric stenosis, it may be considered in the case of a baby with colic, for example. | | | Pyloric stenosis may be present at birth or acquired later in life. |

| | Pyloric Stenosis |
| | A surgical procedure called pyloromyotomy, which involves cutting through the thickened muscles of the pylorus, is performed to relieve the obstruction from pyloric stenosis. | | | During the exam, the doctor will attempt to feel if there is a pyloric mass - a firm, movable lump that feels like an olive and is sometimes detected in the belly of an infant with pyloric stenosis. | | | It has also been shown to run in families - if a parent had pyloric stenosis, then an infant has up to a 20% risk of developing the condition. |

| | About Pyloric Stenosis |
| | A physical exam by the doctor can sometimes show an enlarged pyloric valve and an upper GI may be performed to determine if the baby has pyloric stenosis. | | | If the baby does have pyloric stenosis the doctor will check for dehydration through blood work, an IV will be inserted to replace fluids and the baby will likely go to surgery the next day. | | | Most babies will be discharged one or two days after surgery and will not have any long term complications. |
