Patient's question:
Son is nine years old, mild funnel doctor told me not to say your son will grow up to be an inappropriate star. Currently what symptoms the doctor said will be better when he grows up I'm worried about growing up affecting the heart and lungs very confused don't know what to do?Doctor's answer:
The baby has pectus excavatum, which is mostly caused by a lack of vitamin D during infancy. Now the baby is nine years old, and the pectus excavatum is mild, so there should be no problem. If it is severe, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for surgery to correct it. You can consult with an orthopedic department. Surgery is used to alleviate the heart and lung dysfunction caused by the developmental deformity of pectus excavatum, or to prevent interference with the growth and development of the heart and lungs. If it is only mild, surgery is generally not recommended because the psychological trauma of surgery is very great, and it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons.
