Question
A two-month-old baby was found to have asymmetrical gluteal striae during a preventive vaccination examination. After a color Doppler ultrasound, the doctor recommended referral to an orthopedic department for further examination. Does this mean there is a problem, and is it necessary to undergo further examination?
Answer
Hello, based on the examination results, gluteal striae are typically symmetrical. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital’s surgical department for an MRI to assess their developmental status. If the examination results are normal, it indicates there is no issue. However, to ensure your child’s development is not affected and to avoid potential deformities in the future, it is advisable to seek further diagnosis and treatment at a professional hospital in a timely manner.
