Pediatric surgeon: how important is it to examine the child in time

Some pathologies are congenital and are diagnosed by the pediatric surgeon even in utero, or immediately after the birth. However, there are also disorders that manifest themselves in childhood, especially in the first years and even months of a baby’s life! That is why scheduled examinations of a pediatric surgeon are recommended – they allow to identify a number of diseases in time and prevent complications, for example, inguinal hernia or cryptorchidism in boys (occurs when the one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum while the fetus is developing).

That is why you shouldn’t forget to visit a good pediatric surgeon on schedule! The doctor will make sure your child grows alright and healthy!

When should I visit a pediatric surgeon?

You shouldn’t delay a visit to a pediatric surgeon, if the child has noticed the following symptoms:

• stomach ache
• urination problems
• frequent constipation
• a sharp increase in body temperature and / or the appearance of vomiting
• any deviations in the appearance of the genitals
• the appearance of neoplasms, etc.

Parents! Don’t try to treat the child yourself! Complications may arise, that will later take a long time to heal. So if you’ve noticed the symptoms listed above – immediately consult a pediatric surgeon! The earlier you turn to a qualified specialist, the more chances you have for a quick and successful recovery of your child!

How does a pediatric surgeon appointment proceed?

First, the doctor examines the child and questions both the parents and the child (complaints, the course of the disease, circumstances of the trauma, etc.) To establish the correct diagnosis, your child might need to go through additional examination. Afterwards, the doctor would prescribe a treatment (medication/surgery). If necessary, the date of the next visit is decided.
