Question
My newborn is just 1 year old and has an abdominal cyst. The fetus was previously found to have a cyst on the right abdomen, and now, at 1 year old, there is a cyst in the bladder area on the right abdomen. Should surgery be done immediately, or can the cyst absorb on its own? I want to wait until my child is older to have the surgery. What should I pay attention to during this time?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended to first undergo an ultrasound examination. If you have any doubts, you can also undergo a CT scan. In case of serious intussusception, it may be life-threatening. Please go to the nearest pediatric hospital and work out a reasonable treatment plan under the guidance of the attending physician. If necessary, surgery must be done as soon as possible to prevent serious bowel necrosis from threatening life. Wishing your baby grows up healthy and strong!
