What does asymmetric thigh skin texture mean?

If a mother has a baby, she will definitely be very concerned about him. If there is any problem, she will take the child to the hospital for examination. This approach is not wrong, but sometimes it is not necessary to be so troublesome. If you can know more about maternal and child knowledge, you can solve the problem. So, in medicine, what does the so-called asymmetric skin pattern on the baby's thighs mean?

A mother took her baby for a physical examination and was told by the doctor that "the baby's leg lines are asymmetrical" and "congenital hip dislocation is suspected."

What does it mean?

The doctor further explained: Hip dislocation may cause children to have "uneven legs" or "limping".

Isn't the child just a little fat, and the wrinkles on his two legs are different? Is it really that serious? Today, Panda will talk to you about the "little" thing of "asymmetric skin texture" in babies!

Is there a problem with asymmetrical hip and leg lines?

Asymmetry of hip and leg lines does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the hip joint;

But if there is a problem with the hip joint, the hip and leg lines will definitely be asymmetrical!

The baby's skin texture is asymmetrical, and the doctor recommends going to a specialist hospital for examination because the child may suffer from "hip dysplasia". The medical name is "developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH for short)", which is one of the main diseases that cause limb disability in children.

1. Early symptoms and effects of DDH

The typical features of DDH are present at birth and become more apparent after 6 weeks of age. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to whether their children have the following characteristics:

➬Unequal length of lower limbs

➬ Bilateral asymmetric skin texture

➬Abnormal leg posture

➬Limited lower limb activity

If DDH is not diagnosed and treated promptly, the child will develop a limp when he or she starts walking. The child walks like a swaying duck. It will be much more difficult to treat the child at this stage, and some children will have to endure the trauma of surgery.

If not treated promptly or handled improperly, it may cause hip and waist pain in older age, seriously affecting the quality of life.
