Will a baby with spina bifida get better after treatment?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if spinal bifida in infants will be cured after treatment

Doctor's answer:

The issue of spina bifida is such that if there are clinical symptoms, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. If there are no clinical symptoms, observation can be maintained first, and medication may not be very helpful. In that case, your child can continue to be observed and wait for the situation to develop. When symptoms appear, specific surgical treatment can then be carried out. Baby growth and development is a gradual process, with both commonalities and exceptions. The timing of growth varies, with some starting as early as one or two months, or even earlier, while others may not start until six months or later. It is related to the baby's nutritional status and physical condition.
