When should you see a pediatric surgeon
A planned checkup of a pediatric surgeon is mandatory for each child at the age of 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and also before the enrollment to a kindergarten or a school.
You have to visit a surgeon with a child in the following cases:
- before enrollment to sports sections, especially if they include serious physical loading;
- at puberty (on average, at the age of 12–14 years).
Check-ups by a pediatric surgeon are recommended to undergo once in 2 years up to the age of 18 even if a child has no complaints.
During a scheduled check-up experienced pediatric surgeons will see if a child has any hidden developmental delays. In case of a pathology, they will select an effective therapy that will allow to avoid surgical treatment, and, if it is not possible, to find the best option for surgical intervention.
A specialist will provide aid if a foreign object has entered the gastrointestinal tract of a child.
