My child is 3 years old and has just had surgery. I want to ask, since there is still a catheter inserted, my child keeps complaining and wants it removed. There is no need to remove the catheter when a hypospadias patient is discharged from the hospital. Generally, the incision heals well within about a week after surgery, and the condition is stable, allowing the catheter to be taken out of the hospital. It is recommended that after discharge, pay attention to keeping the urethra unobstructed, drink plenty of water, and observe the urine for its color, clarity, turbidity, and blood presence. If there is a blockage or rupture of the ureter (both ends of the ureter need to be brought back to the hospital), please return to the hospital within 3 weeks to remove the catheter. The catheter can be removed after surgery or at a local hospital.
A child was found to have a lump beside the small chicken after one week of birth, diagnosed with a hernia, and the parents asked whether surgery was necessary for treatment.
Patients with diaphragmatic hernia should undergo surgery promptly, as severe hernias may lead to internal organs entering the chest cavity. Modern laparoscopic surgery offers many advantages, including the use of patches for repair. Postoperative precautions include reducing food intake, focusing on high-protein, low-fat diets, avoiding high-calorie foods, minimizing post-meal lying down and eating before bedtime; sleeping with the head elevated and feet lower; avoiding behaviors that increase intra-abdominal pressure such as bending over and wearing tight clothing; overweight individuals should lose weight. It is recommended to undergo surgery promptly!
