Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and was hospitalized for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was experiencing some pain and had difficulty sleeping at night, which was significantly affecting his condition. How should bilateral hip joint laxity in male infants be treated after ultrasound examination?Doctor's answer:
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), also known as congenital hip dislocation, is formed at birth. The main cause is that during the second to third month of pregnancy, when the fetal hip joint is developing, the mother may experience a cold, fever, or other illnesses, causing a temporary halt in fetal growth. If the joint does not develop normally, dislocation occurs. The occurrence of developmental dysplasia of the hip severely affects the patient's life. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
