Imperforate anus can be treated

Types



Symptoms

What Are the Symptoms of Imperforate Anus?
The signs of imperforate anus are usually obvious soon after birth. They include:

no anal opening
anal opening in the wrong place, such as too close to the vagina
no stool in the first 24 to 48 hours of life
stool passing through the wrong place, such as the urethra, vagina, scrotum, or the base of their penis
a swollen abdomen
an abnormal connection, or fistula, between your baby’s rectum and their reproductive system or urinary tract

According to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, about half of all babies born with imperforate anus have additional abnormalities. Some of these may be:

kidney and urinary tract defects
abnormalities of the spine
windpipe, or tracheal, defects
esophageal defects
defects of the arms and legs
Down syndrome, which is a chromosomal condition associated with cognitive delay, intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle ton
Hirschsprung’s disease, which is a blockage of the large intestine
duodenal atresia, which is an improper development of the first part of the small bowel
congenital heart defects


SO HOW DO WE TREAT IT?


Diagnosis and treatment

How Is Imperforate Anus Diagnosed?

A doctor can usually diagnose imperforate anus by performing a physical exam after birth. X-rays of the abdomen and abdominal ultrasound can confirm the problem and reveal the extent of the abnormalities.

After diagnosing imperforate anus, your baby’s doctor should also test for other abnormalities associated with this condition. Tests used may include:

X-rays of the spine to detect bone abnormalities
spinal ultrasound looking for abnormalities in the vertebral body, or bones of the spine
echocardiogram looking for cardiac anomalies
MRI looking for evidence of esophageal defects such as formation of fistulae with the trachea, or windpipe



TREATMENT

What Are the Treatments for Imperforate Anus?

Imperforate anus almost always requires surgery. Multiple procedures are sometimes necessary to correct the problem. A temporary colostomy can also allow your baby time to grow before surgery.

For a colostomy, your baby’s surgeon creates two small openings, or stoma, in the abdomen. They attach the lower part of the intestines to one opening and the upper part of the intestines to the other. A pouch attached to the outside of the body catches waste products.

The type of corrective surgery needed will depend on the specifics of the defect, such as how far your baby’s rectum descends, how it affects the nearby muscles, and whether there are fistulas involved.

In a perineal anoplasty, your baby’s surgeon closes any fistulas so that the rectum no longer attaches to the urethra or vagina. They then create an anus in the normal positioning.

A pull-through operation is when your baby’s surgeon pulls the rectum down and connects it to the new anus.

To prevent the anus from narrowing, it may be necessary to stretch the anus periodically. This is called anal dilation. You may need to repeat this periodically for a few months. Your doctor can teach you how to perform this at home.

You prolly didn't see this or you chose to ignore it in your youthful exuberance. One day you would be a mother, you would understand the pains of motherhood.
