Answer

Spina bifida is a congenital condition where mild cases may not exhibit any discomfort symptoms throughout their lives, but it seems that your child’s condition is more severe. It is recommended to consult with a professional pediatric orthopedic specialist for diagnosis based on imaging tests such as X-rays or other radiological examinations to determine the next steps in treatment. Although surgery is not the only option for all patients, it can be an important means to improve symptoms in certain situations. Additionally, patients should pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition in daily care to avoid or reduce the chances of recurrence.
