Hirschsprung's

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I hope gets better soon.

I can tell you that Hirschsprung's is a disease that affects a part of the

rectum giving rise to constipation and subacute intestinal obstruction. From

my own experience,

Hirschsprung's is normally diagnosed at an earlier age than 's, but it

is not impossible that she suffers from it. The good news is that it is a

curable disease, although she would need surgery.

Another possible diagnosis is megacolon, which is a term used to

describe a number of conditions in which the colon is dilated. The

differential diagnosis is by a rectal biopsy.

I hope you find this helpful. Take care,
