Question
My child was diagnosed with pediatric urethral rupture shortly after birth. The doctor said that surgery is needed. Generally, how long does it take for a child to fully recover after the surgery?
Answer
The recovery time varies from case to case, but pediatric urethral rupture surgery typically takes several weeks to several months to fully recover. In addition to the surgery itself, attention must also be paid to the healing and recovery of the wound. At the same time, dietary and lifestyle habits should be gradually adjusted, such as toilet training, paying attention to light, salty, and bland food, avoiding vigorous activities to prevent adverse effects on the wound, such as infection or tearing. Every child’s recovery process is unique, so please closely monitor your child’s recovery after the surgery and follow the appropriate care and recovery measures as advised by the doctor.
