Our Pediatric Urology unit offers specialized care for children with genitourinary conditions. Recognizing that children may struggle to articulate their pain, our pediatric urologists are specially trained to comprehend and address these medical issues in a child-friendly manner.
Pediatric urology refers to the subspecialty within pediatrics, which involves assessing, treating, or managing urologic problems affecting children. Children’s health and development could be greatly affected by urological disorders that include kidney diseases, bladders, urethra, and reproduction. Pediatric urology is a domain of special care for children handled by the Paediatric Urologist who has specialized expertise in this area.
Children will not always be able to communicate their pain and discomfort to you, but you can look for a few symptoms that could hint at a brewing urinary condition. A few such symptoms are as follows:
The Paediatric Urology department at Dhee Hospital is equipped to address a wide spectrum of urological conditions in children, including but not limited to:
Birth conditions like hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and posterior urethral valves are corrected by surgeries.
These infections may reoccur hence further evaluation and treatment is necessary.
Other conditions such as neurogenic bladder and overactive bladder will interfere with bladder function and may call for medical intervention.
A birth defect involving a urethral opening that occurs beneath the penile shaft instead of at the tip.
Undescended testicles usually need surgical correction, which places them in the scrotum.
Pediatric urology includes diagnosis and surgical treatments of neoplasm associated with kidney, bladder, or genital organs.
Issues with urination, such as daytime wetting, nighttime bedwetting, and difficulty emptying the bladder, are addressed through urological evaluation and management.
Surgical correction of hydroceles (fluid-filled sacs around the testicles) and hernias is common in pediatric patients.
Children can develop urinary stones, and these may require treatment, including surgery, to remove or break down the stones.
Paediatric Urologists work with intersex and transgender patients to provide specialized care and support for their unique urological needs.
Pediatric Urologists at Dhee Hospital conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose urological conditions in children. The diagnostic process may include:
Gathering information about the child’s symptoms, medical history, and any family history of urological conditions.
A comprehensive physical examination helps assess the child’s overall health and specific urological issues.
Depending on the condition, diagnostic tools like ultrasounds, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), or MRI may be used to visualize the urological system.
These tests assess bladder and urinary function in children with voiding dysfunction.
Urinalysis and blood tests may be conducted to provide additional diagnostic information.
