Patient's question:
To have enuresis, bedwetting. Also accompanied by poor appetite for dinner and not gaining weight. Since birth until now, the past treatment history and effectiveness: On November 27, 2009, the hospital conducted a thorough examination, X-ray confirmed the diagnosis of hidden vertebral plate fissure. Chinese medicine used Shuyuan capsules and Xingspi Yang'er Keli for conditioning and treating enuresis. The effect is yet to be observed. What kind of assistance is needed: After reading relevant articles, I don't understand the relationship between hidden vertebral plate fissure, spinal cord tethering, and pediatric enuresis.Doctor's answer:
There may be a small number of patients who experience urinary dysfunction again during the transformation process, with relatively mild limb weakness and sensory abnormalities. This is because fibrosis, adipose tissue, or fibrous tissue at the site of spina bifida interferes with the spinal nerves, leading to lower limb weakness, deformities, and coldness below the level of inflammation. Moreover, there is often dysfunction in both urination and defecation. Low back pain is also common.Currently, there is no effective treatment for this condition. The common manifestations of spinal cord tethering syndrome include urinary retention, difficulty urinating, incontinence, frequent urination, and reduced volume per urination compared to normal.
