Double Bubble/Pyloris Stenosis

They said my baby has a double bubble most likely caused by pyloric stenosis or duodenal atresia. My dr is scared b/c he doesnt know much about it and is scared he isnt caring for me properly. Anyone have any info on this?

Re: Double Bubble/Pyloris Stenosis

I don't know what a double bubble is, but my DS had Pyloric Stenosis and had surgery to repair it at 7 weeks. Pyloric Stenosis usually develops (if it does) about 3 weeks after birth and is most common with first born males. Please FM me with any questions. DS is absolutely fine today (and was right after his surgery as well).

Re: Double Bubble/Pyloris Stenosis

Pyloric stenosis essentially is a sphincter muscle that is too tight causing extreme vomiting. Usually presents with a baby that projectile vomits and has a "olive-like mass" in the abdomen. It's not an emergency and an IV will be placed and fluids given before surgery.

The surgery is very simple & is done very soon after child is born. It's minor & the incision is small.

Duodenal atresia is more complicated.

Your Dr should put you in touch with a peds surgeon to speak to.

I sent you a FM but it said there was no email address. Did you get my email? I cant seem to email you...

Re: Double Bubble/Pyloris Stenosis

my DS had PS and he's completely fine now...he had surgery when he was 7 weeks old and it was very simple...i would start researching for a pediatrician who has more knowledge on this i dont think your OBGYN can do anything anyway
