Patient's question:
No discomfort or any previous treatment and its effects: No matter what kind of assistance: My son is 14 years old this year, and he was diagnosed with pectus excavatum during a school health check-up this year, but my son has no discomfort at all. Hello, will there be any interference in the future?Doctor's answer:
If the funnel chest is severe, it may interfere with the growth and development of thoracic organs. It is recommended that the family take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. If it affects future growth and development, surgery can be performed to correct it. Additionally, pay attention to calcium supplementation for the child, as funnel chest is often caused by calcium deficiency in childhood. Except for cases with mild deformities, surgical treatment should be provided. Early surgery is more effective, and correction can be performed after the child is 3-4 years old.
