Doctor's advice:

• "Even if your child feels well, regular check-ups with a pediatrician, especially a pediatric surgeon, help ensure that the development of organs and systems is progressing normally. I recommend having a preventive check-up at least once a year or immediately upon any changes: bulging of the abdomen, lumps, irregular bowel movements, or discomfort. This kind of monitoring allows for the use of modern, gentle treatment methods, and if necessary, laparoscopic surgery, which ensures a quick and safe recovery. Regular preventive check-ups give the child and parents important advantages: they help track the body's development and maintain overall health by following the doctor's recommendations."
