    Does asymmetry in baby leg lines have an effect? The asymmetry of the baby's leg lines includes normal or disease-caused, and if it is caused by disease, it will affect the baby. Children with congenital hip dysplasia, congenital hip subluxation, and congenital hip dislocation will show asymmetry of leg lines, so when the baby's leg lines are found to be asymmetrical, parents should take the baby to the hospital for examination.

    The baby's leg lines are asymmetrical, which refers to the inconsistency in the number and depth of the folds on the baby's two thighs. If the length of both lower limbs is the same, go to the hospital for examination, perform some lower limb tests normally, and then take an x-ray or B-ultrasound examination to check that there is no abnormality in the pelvic hip joint, it is normal. Parents don't have to worry too much.

    If the length of the lower limbs is not consistent, with one leg long and one leg short, it should be carefully observed. There is also the possibility that the baby's hips and groin on both sides are also asymmetrical, you should go to the hospital for examination, carry out some lower limb tests are not normal, and then take a film or B ultrasound to examine the pelvis and hip joint, according to the measurement results, judge whether it is congenital hip dysplasia, congenital hip subluxation, or congenital hip dislocation, and then choose different methods according to the baby's age and degree of lesions.

    In short, if you find that your baby's leg lines are asymmetrical, you should go to the hospital in time.

    Introduction: The baby's bones are still soft and weak for several months, and the flesh on the body is wrinkled, like lotus root. Sometimes when the baby rolls over, the mother will find that the wrinkles on the baby's thighs are asymmetrical. So, the baby's leg lines are asymmetrical, what's going on?

    Children have asymmetrical leg lines, and the cause of this is often directly related to hip dysplasia. In severe cases, it will directly affect the baby's walking and even disability. Hip dysplasia is more common in girls and less common in boys.

    The main reason is that the normal development of the hip joint is affected by the birth of the baby (breech pregnancy, childbirth, oligohydramnios, etc.). ), genetic history, family history, or postnatal causes of hip dislocation and acetabular dysplasia. For example, the child has long legs, short legs, more wrinkles on one thigh or buttocks, less wrinkles on the other side, asymmetrical wrinkles in one hip, or older children walk with a little limp.

    Therefore, when Bao's mother finds that the baby's leg shape is asymmetrical, she needs to take the baby for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early ** are required.

    Especially in infants and young children, it is difficult to find hip dysplasia without careful observation by the mother. Because in infants and young children, except for the asymmetrical leg shape, there is generally no pain, or it can be said that there are no symptoms, so some mothers are difficult to find. If the hip is dysplasia, not detected in time and correct**, children can easily become disabled for life.

    Because the older the child, the more difficult the operation, the greater the effect and risk. Then, because hip dysplasia always occupies the first place in limb deformity diseases, Bao Ma cannot ignore it. Only early detection, early diagnosis, and proper diagnosis can be conducive to reducing the probability of disability.

    Of course, hip dysplasia is easy to detect during regular physical examinations and screenings of newborns. Therefore, Bao Ma does not have to worry about how to detect hip dysplasia in time. Hip dysplasia has become an important part of newborn screening.

    It may be because the baby has not yet grown perfectly, so the leg lines will be asymmetrical, and it may grow for a period of time, and the baby's leg circumference will become longer and longer.

    Asymmetry of your baby's legs can be normal or caused by a disease, and if it is caused by a disease, it can affect the baby. Children with congenital hip dysplasia, congenital hip swelling, and congenital hip dislocation will have asymmetrical leg lines, so when the baby's leg lines are found to be asymmetrical, parents should take the baby to the hospital for examination.

    Asymmetry of baby leg lines refers to the inconsistency in the number and depth of wrinkles on your baby's thighs. If both lower limbs are the same length, you can go to the hospital for a check-up, and some lower limb tests are normal, and then take an x-ray or ultrasound to check whether the pelvis and hip joints are normal. Parents don't have to worry too much.

    If the length of the lower limb is inconsistent, one leg is long and the other leg is short, it should be carefully observed. The baby may also have asymmetry on both sides of the buttocks and groin, should go to the hospital for examination, when it is abnormal, you can re-examine some lower limb experiments or use B ultrasound to check the pelvis and hip joint, and according to the measurement results to judge whether it is congenital hip dysplasia, congenital hip subluxation, or congenital hip dislocation, according to the baby's age and the degree of pathological changes, choose different methods.

    In short, if the baby's leg line is asymmetrical, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time. Whether it is strict or not depends on the specific situation, which is the cause of joint dysplasia. If you have joint dysplasia, you should go to the hospital for an x-ray or CT scan of the joint.

    If there is joint dysplasia, you can choose to do **physiotherapy, etc.**.

    Spend more time in the sun to promote bone development. The asymmetry of the baby's leg line means that the front or back of the baby's lower limbs and buttocks are not on the same horizontal line. Under normal circumstances, the baby's leg lines should be symmetrical, but there are also some babies whose leg lines have natural asymmetry, and there is no abnormality during the examination.

    It is important to note that some babies with asymmetrical leg lines may have hip dysplasia, dislocation and subluxation. When the doctor examines the baby, he will find some abnormal signs, such as abnormal hip abduction angle, joint bouncing, and different leg lengths. Babies under 6 months of age can be diagnosed by joint ultrasound, and babies over 6 months old need to have an X-ray of the hip joint to be confirmed.

    The sooner hip dysplasia is detected, the easier it is to ** and the better the outcome. Babies at a young age only need to widen the diaper, maintain the frog position, and have regular rechecks, and they can gradually return to normal; Babies who are more severe or over 6 months old need to use a frog brace; Most babies find abnormalities at or after 12 months of age and need surgery to correct them.

    It doesn't matter, the baby's legs are asymmetrical, the general cause is caused by hip dysplasia, which is more common in the baby's growth process.

    Introduction: The baby's health is not cared about by parents. Especially after discovering that the baby has physical problems, such as the asymmetrical leg line of the baby. So, what causes the asymmetry of the baby's leg lines? Next, I will tell you about it.

    1.Mechanical doctrine. Breech delivery can expose the hip joint to mechanical stress in an abnormal flexion position, resulting in dislocation of the femoral head; Or the postpartum baby is not properly wrapped and hugged too tightly, because the traditional habit of the elderly is to hold a candle for the child, the legs are wrapped too tightly, and they like to hold the child, and they can't give the child enough time and space to move their legs, which may cause the child's hip dislocation.

    2.Genetic factors. The incidence of general family history is 7 times higher than that of no family history.

    3.Hormone Doctrine. During childbirth, the mother produces a large amount of estrogen, causing the child's hip joint to be in a relaxed state, so it is prone to dislocation.

    4.Intrauterine factors. If the mother's amniotic fluid is too low, the intrauterine space is narrow, and the fetus does not have enough range of motion; Mothers secrete a type of ligamentase relaxant, but girls are more sensitive to it than boys and are prone to hip laxity, which explains why it is more common in girls than in boys.

    Planning and prognosis depend largely on two factors, namely the severity of the disease and the age at which the disease is detected. The younger the child, the milder the deformity, and the more likely it is that the deformity will be corrected by wearing braces and relying on the baby's ability to shape itself during development. DDH has found that children between the ages of 4 and 6 months can be conservative**.

    Isolated acetabular dysplasia and subluxation can also be conservative with an abduction brace at 6 months to years of age**. However, hip dislocations require reduction under anesthesia and cast immobilization (closed reduction). Children over the age of one and a half often need surgery**.

    From the above, it can be seen that early diagnosis and ** within 6 months can achieve the best results with minimal pain and injury in children.

    The asymmetry of your child's leg shape is only a suggestive sign, but it doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong. Many babies, even if the hip joint is normal, especially the fat one, is not abnormal. If you notice that your baby's legs are asymmetrical, you should ask your doctor to check that the hip joint is developing normally.

    It may be because the baby is still very small, and then just a few days after birth, so it will lead to some asymmetry in the leg curvature, or it may be that the baby has encountered some problems in the process of growth, so it will lead to asymmetry, in fact, there is no big impact.

    In fact, it is normal for babies to have asymmetrical leg lines, and everyone will actually have a variety of different physical differences. It is also impossible for babies to grow completely symmetrical leg lines, because their leg muscles cannot be completely symmetrical in the process of growth, so parents do not have to worry too much, but if the asymmetry of the baby's leg lines is very obvious, and the baby has obvious walking problems or combat problems, this is the mother should go to the hospital to check the baby's body.

    Sometimes the baby's leg lines are asymmetrical, which may be caused by incorrect walking style, if the baby is unevenly stressed when walking, it is likely to cause uneven growth of the leg muscles on both sides, so it is easy to appear asymmetrical distribution of leg lines, at this time mothers should pay attention to see if there is a problem with the baby's walking posture, or a problem with the usual sleeping position, if it is these problems, mothers must correct the baby as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is likely that the baby's bone growth problems will occur.

    If the baby has not learned to walk and stand, at this time there is a problem of asymmetry of leg lines, mothers should pay attention to the development of the baby's bones, to avoid the baby always learning to walk or always unstable, it is likely that parents do not pay attention to the child's sleeping position when letting the child sleep, or do not pay attention to the posture of holding the child when holding the child, resulting in the child's bone development problems, which will affect the child's leg muscles.

Left and right face asymmetry is very common in life, and many people regard left and right face asymmetry as a disease, but it is not. There are several reasons why the left and right faces are not symmetrical, one of which is that one side is used to eating and chewing food, so the side of the face that is commonly used is relatively small, and people who find that the face is asymmetrical should often pick and choose to use both sides of the meal, and the larger side of the face will chew more food. Second, the left and right face asymmetry, but also and sleep close relationship, infancy is particularly obvious, often sleep on one side of the baby on one side of the face of a large face and a small face, adults should pay attention at this time, adjust the baby's sleeping position, to avoid the size of the face asymmetry after growing up and then adjust it is more difficult.

In fact, many people should have the feeling of asymmetry on both sides of the face, I am like this, because I am used to chewing only on one side, so the left face will be bigger than the right face, but I personally think it's okay, there is nothing too different, and I watched a show before, saying that there are almost no people with the same right face yesterday, so I think it is actually normal for the left and right faces to be different.
