Some parents may notice that their baby has a bright red spherical lump slip out of the anus during defecation, and then retract after defecation, which is known as prolapse. If reset treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, it may have adverse effects. So, what are the symptoms of a baby having anal prolapse? How to treat a baby's prolapse?
1. One of the symptoms of anal prolapse in babies is the occurrence of impaction. Moreover, if a baby's rectum protrudes from the anus for a long time, it can cause poor blood circulation in the affected area, leading to swelling and inflammation, which can cause entrapment.
2. The second symptom of a baby's anal prolapse is rectal prolapse, which is quite common in anal prolapse. In the early stages, babies may experience rectal mucosal prolapse during bowel movements. But after the baby finishes defecating, they will recover. But if parents do not take it seriously and accumulate it over time, the condition will worsen, and the baby may experience prolapse while walking or squatting.
3. The third symptom of a baby's anal prolapse is that the anus often feels moist. Babies may experience anal prolapse, mostly due to the relaxation of the anal sphincter muscle, which is unable to contract and can cause rectal mucus to flow out of the anus.
If parents find that their baby has anal prolapse, they should treat the baby with correction and reduction. Here are several methods for treating baby prolapse:
1. If the baby has recurrent anal prolapse symptoms that can automatically retract after the onset, parents can change the baby's bowel movement and let the baby try sitting to defecate.
2. If anal prolapse is related to diseases such as diarrhea, constipation, cough, etc., you can first cure the disease before proceeding.
