Main causes of tummy pain in children include infection, abnormal growths, inflammation, obstruction (blockage), and intestinal disorders.
Many different things can cause children to vomit. Things such as any forms of infections, intestinal blockage or even pain. Discover the most common symptoms and causes.
Most of the time, the groin swelling or lumps in young children is caused by either Hernias, Hydrocoeles, or other problems with the testis or ovaries. Some conditions are more urgent than others.
Children may not be able to tell you about the symptoms they have as a result of Urinary Problems. This can make it hard to decide what your child needs.
Traditional open surgery is commonly associated with a long and extended recovery period in hospital
Permanent scarring & disfigurement to our child is common with open surgery, in addition to severe recovery pain
Long painful recovery causes stress in our child & ourselves. The longer the hospital stay, the greater the disruption to our lives
Keyhole surgery is proven to be a safe and less painful alternative compared to open surgery
Your child will be able to get out of hospital faster & enjoy living normally in no time

𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 is a condition, affecting about 1 in 100 babies, where urine overfills or backs up into the kidney, causing the kidney to swell.
Infants with hydronephrosis may be diagnosed before (prenatal) or after (postnatal) birth.
A telltale symptom of possible hydronephrosis is a urinary tract infection.
Left untreated, hydronephrosis can cause serious and irreversible damage which can have lifelong effects on a baby or child.

婴幼儿肾积水是指一种因尿液在肾脏积聚而导致肾脏增大的疾病。此疾病的发生是因阻塞或逆流阻止尿液由肾脏正常输送至膀胱所致。一般上，婴儿在母体内20周即能被检测到有否肾积水，有者则是在出生后确诊。在马来西亚，每100名出生婴儿当中，就有1人患上肾积水。绝大多数患者的病情皆可被治愈，或者是自动痊愈。

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "Usually, the staff nurses do regular assessment post operatively for pain and for general observation on your child following surgery.
Parents have a buzzer to press to request for an assessment or for additional pain relief if their child requires more analgesia if the planned analgesia was not sufficient.
The general observation will monitor the child’s temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation, which will indicate if rarely, the child has any issues with the anaesthesia."

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "With the keyhole method (laparoscopic) I use, the pain should be minimal as compared to traditional open surgery.
For complex and long surgeries, your child may be on some stronger painkillers given by the intravenous method, for 1 to 2 days post operatively.
Though most kids following keyhole surgery are up and about the next day with simple analgesia they take orally."

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "In my experience, the total cost of surgery varies according to the hospital and the type of surgery.
In general, the larger hospitals in the Klang Valley are the most expensive compared to the smaller hospitals in the same area or even outside Klang Valley. Though the difference between the cost of surgery at the various big hospitals in the Klang Valley is almost identical.
However, as I perform most surgeries by the keyhole (laparoscopic or thoracoscopic) method, the overall cost of surgery maybe 5 to 10% higher.
This is clearly the better option for surgery - less trauma and pain, faster recovery, and reduced scar appearance for your child compared to the old-fashioned larger cuts done with open-surgery.
In this day and age, to be offered open surgery when there is a better keyhole method is akin to being sold a Nokia 3110 phone today when there are the most advanced smartphones available.
The cost difference between these 2 methods is usually compensated by the days in hospitals and hospital costs since the open procedure will need more days in the hospital."

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "If the condition is not congenital (found at birth) then most insurance companies in Malaysia would cover the cost, for example surgery for appendicitis.
However, some employers’ insurance would also cover surgical costs for congenital conditions as well.
There are some insurances that when taken before your child is born may cover for a number of surgical conditions if found in the child when born.
The costs of surgery varies depending on whether it’s a complex surgery requiring many days in hospital or even ICU stays (eg: surgery to lungs), which may come to RM25,000 to RM50,000 or for simpler day surgery procedures that cost about RM5000.
Even these costs can further be reduced to as low as RM2500 (under general anaesthesia) at some selected hospitals where I visit too."

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "Most paediatric surgical conditions are conducted as a day procedure.
However, in babies under 3 months of age, we need to monitor them overnight after surgery, for the same surgery.
For complex surgeries which are done by the keyhole method children on average stay 2 days in hospital post-surgery but for some specific surgeries such as anorectal malformation reconstruction, the child usually stays in for 5 days post-surgery."

This is the story of little Xuanni and how she overcame her 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐞 problem to gain her confidence back! 💪
As adorable Xuanni tells it so wonderfully, her family brought her to see me during the first MCO here in Malaysia for tongue tie surgery.
She had tongue tie from birth and that led her to develop a speech impediment. She was unable to pronounce certain words, which made it hard for others to understand her.
But soon after the surgery she was doing better and even going on to audition for the President's Speech!
Thank you little Xuanni for inspiring all of us with your courage and determination - you are my hero! 😍
