Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can anesthesia affect brain development in a 4-month-old baby during surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the location of the cyst does not affect the child's development, it can be monitored first. For a six-month-old child, surgery must be performed under general anesthesia. There are no clinical reports of anesthetic drugs affecting children's intelligence, but I personally recommend that surgery can be temporarily avoided if it is not necessary. Be alert to the possibility of hemorrhoids or anal fissures causing the issue. It is recommended to consult a colorectal specialist for a definitive diagnosis. If it is not severe, Huaijiao Pills and Hemorhin can be taken orally, and local treatment should use Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment. Avoid spicy, irritating foods and alcohol, and eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation. In severe cases or with recurrent episodes, further surgical treatment may be required.
