Question Category : Constipation
My daughter is 6 months old. When she was born the doctor said she has an anterior anus. The only visually thing wrong with her is that her anus and vagina are very close together. No test have ever been done. Since she was born we have had problems with constipation. We usually have to give an enema once a week. She is on baby food so we make sure she doesn't have rice, bananas, apples etc. My question is what is the difference in an Anterior anus and an Imperforate anus and do you have any information on these conditions? I have had a terrible time finding any information. Check Out the Answer

I have a 2.5 yr old son who has a hemorrhoid that appears after he goes #2. We probably noticed this in the last 6 months or so. His pediatrician says that there is not much to do as long as it is not all the time or causing him any pain. My question is what to do to get rid of it and what it means for such a young person to get hemorrhoids? Does it mean that he will have those types of problems his whole life? He has really never had any constipation issues and regularly goes once and occasionally twice in one day. Please let me know if you can answer my questions. It's very disturbing to us! Thanks!
