As is well known, the intestines of infants are very fragile and delicate. Improper diet can trigger various intestinal diseases. Many parents fail to detect intestinal problems in their babies in a timely manner, leading to the development of rectal polyps. Therefore, mothers want to know how to check for rectal polyps in infants?
Firstly, to determine whether the baby has rectal polyps, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. Generally, the examination methods for rectal polyps in babies include digital rectal examination and colonoscopy, which can detect polyps. However, some babies have special conditions that require the use of sigmoidoscopy for examination, and there is also fiber colonoscopy. For the accuracy of the examination, it is generally necessary to clean the feces in the colon before the examination, otherwise it will affect the examination results.
Secondly, new mothers should always pay attention to their baby's bowel movements when taking care of them. If there is a small amount of blood in the stool and the color of the blood is still bright red, mothers must pay special attention and take their baby to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. The baby may have rectal polyps.
Finally, the treatment of infantile rectal polyps is relatively simple. If it is a polyp with a thin pedicle, it can be directly removed through manual methods in the outpatient department. However, infantile rectal polyps can still recur, so mothers must take good care to prevent the recurrence of polyps in their babies.
