The long-trapped worry over my son's "nameless disease" has been let out! I've recovered! - When he found out that Vinmec International General Hospital surgeons had performed surgery on his 5-year-old son, Nguyen Canh Tung, Mr. Nguyen Minh Ngoc (Tay Ho, Hanoi) choked up. After a protracted period of knocking on the doors of numerous hospitals without finding the disease, two colon polyps were effectively removed.

Doctor Tran Van Quang - Head of Pediatrics Department of Vinmec International Hospital - who has many years of experience in endoscopy for pediatric patients said that Nguyen Canh Tung's case is one of the typical cases of colon polyps that need to be treated. timely management by endoscopic techniques and endoscopic polyp removal that Vinmec has successfully performed.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Ngoc-father Tung's took him to the hospital for testing on September 5, 2012, on the grounds that the infant had been passing blood in the feces virtually continually for a considerable amount of time. He confided, "My family has not been examined and treated in many places, and I have also been examined by experienced pediatricians and have Endoscopy at a large hospital in Hanoi but still did not detect the disease, I was only diagnosed with blood in the stool of unknown cause or anal fissure... " with a face that could not conceal his anxiety and disappointment. I have received numerous treatments using various medications. various medications, however they only temporarily stopped the blood loss.

He was promptly inspected by Dr. Tran Van Quang, Head of the Pediatrics Department at Vinmec International General Hospital. The doctor made the diagnosis of colon polyps through clinical examination and closely probed the patient about the course of the illness, directing colonoscopy.

He had two colon polyps, one measuring 1.5 by 1 cm in the sigmoid colon and the other 0.5 by 0.5 cm in the ascending colon near the cecum, according to the endoscopy findings. Although sigmoid colon polyps are relatively large, they are often challenging to remove because of their position at the angle between the sigmoid colon and descending colon. However, because of their extensive training in pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy, Dr. Quang and his team were able to remove 2 polyps in challenging places successfully and securely.

He was awake when the surgery was finished in 30 minutes. She said that it didn't hurt and expressed a desire to play on the ground with her visiting relatives. Ngoc shared, "There is nothing happier than when my child has found the proper disease and cured it," with a beaming countenance. My family is extremely appreciative of Vinmec doctors.

Dad and baby Tung are both doing well after surgery.

Pediatric colon polyps, according to Dr. Tran Van Quang, are a fairly frequent condition, particularly in children between the ages of 3-6. The major symptom is a continuous and lengthy passage of new blood, which may leak after going outside or leave bar streaks. The illness is commonly confused with anal fissures since the symptoms are relatively similar; the child experiences pain while going outside and is frequently constipated in children; in addition, it is also simple to mistake for other illnesses like dysentery or hemorrhoids. The disease is frequently detected late, leading to anxiety and anemia that affects the child's development because it is simple to generate bewilderment but not truly interesting and understood by the patient's family. If left untreated, certain childhood colon polyps will grow and become problematic. Large polyps can occasionally spontaneously burst, resulting in severe bleeding that is life-threatening to the patient.
