Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The proliferation body develops rapidly during early childhood and gradually atrophies during puberty. Therefore, hypertrophy of the proliferation body is a specific lesion in early childhood. A proliferation body of normal size has no effect on children, but if it is excessively hypertrophic, it can affect their physical and mental health. It is generally surgically removable.
