Pediatric urology is a subspecialty of urology that addresses congenital and acquired conditions affecting the urinary tract and reproductive organs in children. It includes medical and surgical management of conditions related to the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and genitalia.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Recurring infections that may indicate underlying issues such as vesicoureteral reflux.
Hypospadias: A congenital condition where the urethral opening is not closed normally during fetal development.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR): A condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys.
Undescended Testicles (Cryptorchidism): When one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum.
Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis): Involuntary urination during sleep beyond the expected age.
Hydronephrosis: Swelling of the kidney due to urine buildup caused by obstruction or reflux.
Congenital Abnormalities: Structural defects present at birth, such as duplicated ureters or kidney malformations.
Bladder and Kidney Stones: Formation of stones that can cause pain and urinary issues in children.
Neurogenic Bladder: Bladder dysfunction due to nerve-related conditions like spina bifida.
Hernias and Hydroceles: Conditions affecting the groin area due to fluid buildup or weak muscles.
Ultrasound Imaging: To detect abnormalities in the kidneys and bladder.Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG): A special X-ray to check bladder function and VUR.Urodynamic Studies: Assess bladder function and pressure.MRI and CT Scans: For detailed imaging of complex urological conditions.Urine Tests: To diagnose infections and metabolic disorders.Medical Management: Your child may be prescribed antibiotics for UTIs and reflux management, as well as some other medications to control other problems like bedwetting or bladder dysfunction.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: For some cases, minimally invasive, robotic, or laparoscopic surgeries may be recommended. This may also include endoscopic corrections for conditions such as VUR. These surgeries help in effective treatments and faster recovery.
Open Surgery: Sometimes, open surgery may be recommended for complex restorative procedures to help overcome the issue.
Behavioral and Lifestyle Modifications: Behavioral and lifestyle changes can be implemented, such as toilet training, dietary changes, and bladder retraining techniques to lead a healthier life.
