How to treat a 9-year-old child with hidden spinal dysraphism

Patient's question:

Patient: Male, 9 years old, good physical condition
Condition: Since the age of one, he has frequently leaked urine, wetting his pants continuously. When reminded once, he can do it lightly; without being reminded, he cannot control it.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to seek timely treatment, as it can help control symptoms and improve prognosis. Comprehensive treatment, including non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical approaches, should be employed to alleviate pain and stiffness, control or reduce inflammation, maintain good posture, prevent spinal or joint deformities, and correct deformed joints when necessary, all in order to improve and enhance the patient's quality of life.
Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to congenital spinal defects. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
