Bowel and bottom problems in children range from an anorectal malformation noticed at birth to Hirschsprung disease and severe, stubborn constipation. These conditions need careful diagnosis and, often, staged surgery. Dr. Tanmay Motiwala provides specialist colorectal and anorectal care for children of all ages.
Conditions we treat
- Anorectal malformation (ARM) — A baby born without a normal anal opening — the staged repair explained.
- Hirschsprung disease — A newborn not passing stool since birth may have Hirschsprung disease.
- Constipation — When stubborn constipation needs a pediatric surgeon, not just laxatives.
When to see a pediatric surgeon
A newborn who has not passed stool in the first 1–2 days, a baby born without a normal anal opening, or a child whose constipation does not settle with routine treatment should be seen by a pediatric surgeon.
