Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is 4.5 and has been diagnosed with encopresis. now his doctors think it may be hershbergers disease. i am having trouble finding anything on it on the internet. can you tell me about it or direct me where to find some answers please? They are basing the need for testing on the fact that he had delayed visual processing when he was born and his low muscle tone, the fact that he is only 31 lbs and very short for his age (9th %lie).
i think it is hirschprungs disease not hershbergers disease. just search for it on google. its a condition where there is an obstruction to the passage of stools due to failure of rectosigmoid area to relax during movement of stools through the colon due to congenital absence of nerves in a small portion of intestine.
