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 anopening in the large intestine on the abdomen) so far. The nature ofimperforate anus also has a bearing on the ultimate outcome.
