Patient's question:
My friend's child was born not long ago, but the doctor detected symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease. This is a congenital form of the condition, with symptoms such as delayed meconium. Although it is relatively mild, we are still very concerned. I want to ask how to deal with Hirschsprung's disease in newborns?Doctor's answer:
For the occurrence of congenital megacolon in newborns, the severity of the resected length still needs to be considered. If the symptoms are very severe, it is necessary to correctly select and follow the doctor's advice, complete the corresponding preoperative examinations, choose surgical treatment, and pay attention to correctly observe whether there are postoperative complications or contraindications, etc. After surgery, it is necessary to combine clinical practice. If the symptoms are not particularly severe, conservative treatment according to the doctor's advice may be a priority.
