Hello, hip dysplasia is mainly related to congenital or genetic factors. If this condition is diagnosed, it requires active treatment, and the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. If left untreated, it can have a significant impact on the future. If there is no pain or if surgery is not desired, conservative treatment can be adopted. Rest and avoid weight-bearing on the lower limbs during daily life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at one of the three hospitals.
