Under normal circumstances, the color of a person's excrement is yellow. If there is a disease, the color of the stool may change, such as black stool, or there may be reddish stools, which may be due to symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding. But have you ever heard of white poop?
Recently, a young couple in Jiaojiang brought a 1-year-old baby Xiao Duomi to Taizhou Central Hospital pediatric surgery assistance, and Xiao Duomila's stool is white...
A month ago, when Dad gave Xiao Duo a poop, he accidentally found that Xiao Duo Was white, a bit like a thin layer of snow. Both couples were amazed. "I've never seen this before, I've never even heard of it!" The couple asked friends and family, but neither of them knew what was going on.
Although Xiao Duo can eat and sleep, and does not see obvious abnormalities, the white feces that are excreted each time still make the couple sit still uneasy. So the couple took Xiao Duo to Taizhou Central Hospital for help.
Receiving Xiao Duomi was Li Shihui, a pediatric surgeon at the hospital. Carefully, he found that in addition to the color of the stool is white, there is also an abnormality: Xiaoduomi's skin is yellow all over his body, and even the whites of his eyes are yellow, and he is alive and free of a "minion".
After inquiring in detail about Xiao Duo's parents, xiao Duo's parents on a daily basis, he highly suspected that Xiao Duo May have a problem with the biliary tract, and the white stool may also be related to it. "Problems with the biliary tract often cause yellowing of the skin and pale stools." He said.
Li Shihui immediately arranged for Xiaomi to perform relevant examinations such as ultrasound. The results of the examination confirmed his suspicions, and there was a huge cyst in The common bile duct of The Little Domi, 3 cm by 2 cm in size, about the size of a kumquat.
In general, the common bile ducts of 1-year-olds are only 3 mm in diameter. This huge cyst completely opened The Common Bile Duct of Little Domi. "This is a congenital common bile duct cyst, and the culprit is it!" Li Shihui said to Xiao Duoduo's parents.
Due to the presence of a huge cyst, Domi's bile cannot enter the intestine, and if there is less bile in the stool, there is less bilirubin or fecal biliogen, resulting in Domi's stool whitish.
With the consent of the family, the doctor made preoperative preparations, and Xiao Duo was sent to the operating room. Lin Yongzhi led the team to perform laparoscopic congenital common bile duct cyst removal surgery on XiaoDuomi.
The operation went well. Since it was a minimally invasive procedure, Xiaomi was recovering well. On the 3rd day after the operation, the color of Xiaomi's skin returned to normal, and the color of the stool returned to normal. During the recovery period, Xiao Duo not only did not cry, but also often smiled at the medical staff. At the end of each round, the baby will happily wave his hand, completely unable to see that he has just undergone a major operation.
Lin Yongzhi, director of the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the hospital, introduced that congenital common bile duct cysts, also known as common bile duct dilation, are relatively rare congenital anomalies in children, with an incidence of about one in a thousand. Children with congenital common bile duct cysts will have abdominal pain, jaundice of the skin and sclera, and abdominal lumps, and some will have faint stool color, and severe children may have stools that become white like XiaoDuoduo. But most of the time, the child only shows one or two of these symptoms, such as Xiaomi only has jaundice of the skin and sclera and weak stool, and some people do not find out that they are sick until adulthood.
Lin Yongzhi said that the only way to treat congenital common bile duct cysts is surgical resection. He reminded that once it is found that the operation should be carried out as soon as possible, if the cyst is not removed in time, the child may have abdominal pain, jaundice and other symptoms, and the symptoms will recur, causing unnecessary pain. And with age, cysts may even become cancerous.
