aimeeHi all,
I hope the Cornell website was a good point of reference and at the bottom of the web page the copy right goes from 2001 to 2006. This particualr subject which is sensitive to parents but also on paper is what it is - something to keep a surgical site open and also depends on the childs anatomy - what the wacky adrenal gland did to the genital area. Plus, the parents views on the matter is taken into account. Some are going to be able to have this done no matter and others would elect surgery becasue of vaginal stenosis at a later date for their child.
I’m not one to assume anything and if you’ll all find the info incorrect then all the better to contact this particalur university medical site and have them change the info.
I personally think Cornell is wonderful and am very fond of the top doc that devotes interest in helping those of us born CAH fit into the social structure of this society by correcting the results of the metabolic condition CAH. When the surgery needs to be done depends on each particular child’s case and the family involved. I think many surgical services based on the collective knowledge obtained throughout the years should be applauded.
Instead of dialators maybe something like a stent? I have one to keep my bile duct open and I know other people thay have them for heart issues.
I’ll take the dialators over medical residents asking me to slide doen on their fingers.
Sincerely,
Aimee
