Why My Kids Stools To Be Appeared With Hair?

my son, almost three, has been passing stools with what looks like hair in it. i have long blond hair that i keep up and i notice that when he finds any hairs on the floor or couch, he likes to play with them and wrap them around his fingers and such. he doesn t seem to have any trouble passing stools...has at least 1 BM a day. and it s not an obscene amount of hair...maybe a few strands here and there. is this cause for concern?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Your cholesterol is not that high to be very worried. You may easily look after him and don't allow him to suck your hair, because it can cause phytobezoar : a concretion formed in the stomach or intestine and composed chiefly of undigested compacted vegetable and lead to surgery .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you and your baby a good health.
