Q: My child has imperforate anus (born on 03.12.2003). How does it occurs; what is the remedy and will it cause problems in future?.

A:It is important to know whether you have a boy or girl child. Also, I would like to know whether the baby has had any surgery (colostomy, which is an opening in the large intestine on the abdomen) so far. The nature of imperforate anus also has a bearing on the ultimate outcome.
