• Pyloric Stenosis
  Pyloric stenosis is a condition that affects infants. It is a narrowing of the pylorus (the lower part of the stomach leading to the small intestine) due to thickening of the muscle. This makes digestion difficult because food cannot easily pass through from the stomach to the small intestines.
