What is a pediatric second opinion?

When a child is sick, finding the most non-invasive right treatment is the end vision of any parent.

We are here to assist.

An expert second opinion from the best Pediatrics hospitals in Hyderabad will give you the peace of mind that comes from understanding that your child’s health is in the hands of the country’s leading experts. A second opinion from Yashoda Hospitals Pediatrics specialists can confirm your child’s diagnosis, help you understand your child’s treatment alternatives and confirm the suggested treatment.

Why should you get a second opinion for your child?

Medical knowledge and treatments are making advances and developing every day, and seeking guidance from more than one doctor only helps understand and decide which treatment is most appropriate for your child’s situation. It is important to make sure that any second (or third) opinion is from a physician who has keen knowledge, broad experience and expertise treating the condition that the child has been diagnosed with. From simple to the most complex procedures needed for children, it is important to accurately diagnose and alternatively treat it medically or surgically since the procedure could also be life-changing or altering.

Get a second opinion about a child’s condition for the below-mentioned reasons. Confirming a diagnosis
  • Confirming a diagnosis
  • Determining a diagnosis
  • Knowing why symptoms persist despite treatment
  • Detecting and assessing new or advanced therapies
  • Discussing options for treatment
  • Comparing the results of different treatment plans
  • Considering opportunities to join clinical trials

A second opinion from a pediatric specialist is especially helpful if you are thinking of multiple treatment options. It may also reduce the requirement for additional testing, procedures or surgery for your child. Our aim is to assist you to make knowledgeable decisions about treatment that will help your child be cured.

When should I ask for a second opinion?

You may need to ask a second opinion before your child starts treatment, to ensure that you can explore all necessary opportunities for treatment. A second opinion can also be important if your child has experienced treatment, but still continues to undergo or display symptoms.

If your child experiences a rare or complicated condition — like Ulcerative Colitis, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, or Chronic Liver Disease — our pediatric specialists can help you feel ready and explain the consequences of all the possible options and outcomes pertaining to your child’s treatment. A second opinion is particularly relevant before any invasive procedure or surgery.

2. High-risk pregnancy care –

While many pregnancies and deliveries occur normally without any glitches, some pregnancies may pose certain challenges. Obstetricians and fetal medicine specialists work closely to treat suspected high-risk. When there is an obvious risk to the mother or child during the process, the specialists offer special care to overcome them and ensure safe delivery. Yashoda Maternity Clinic works towards reducing the incidence of maternal or newborn deaths and complications during a high-risk pregnancy.

3. Natural birthing –

A natural, unmedicated birthing assures long-lasting health benefits for both mother and child. We at Yashoda Hospitals, offer comprehensive care to ensure a safe delivery and a healthy mother-child duo. Natural birthing involves a shorter hospital stay, a shorter recovery, and less pain after delivery. Babies born naturally are also less likely to experience neonatal breathing problems because vaginal birth forces fluid out of the baby’s lungs.
