Paediatric urology
Paediatric urology is a surgical subspecialty focused on treating disorders of the genitourinary system in children, including issues related to urination, reproductive organs, and testes. Many of these conditions are congenital and can be diagnosed before or soon after birth, often requiring early intervention, sometimes through surgery.
Paediatric urologists are specialized surgeons who diagnose, manage, and treat urinary and genital issues in children, from birth to early adulthood. They handle both congenital and acquired conditions, providing care that may involve surgical reconstruction or other therapeutic approaches.
Common Symptoms Paediatrics Urologists Treat;
Following are the most common condition seen by paediatric urologists:
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A bacterial infection causing pain and frequent urination, common in children.
Bladder Control Problems: Issues like bedwetting or daytime incontinence due to bladder function delays.
Undescended Testes (Cryptorchidism): A condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum before birth.
Hypospadias: A congenital defect where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis, requiring surgery.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR): Urine flows backward from the bladder into the kidneys, leading to infections.
Hydronephrosis: Swelling of the kidneys due to blocked urine flow, often detected in infancy or prenatally.
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: A blockage where the ureter meets the kidney, affecting urine flow.
Phimosis: Tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back, potentially causing discomfort or infections.
Hydrocele: Fluid accumulation around a testicle, causing scrotal swelling, often resolving on its own.
Neurogenic Bladder: Bladder dysfunction caused by nerve damage, affecting urine storage and release.
Antenatal Hydronephrosis: Enlargement of the kidneys detected before birth due to fluid buildup, often requiring postnatal monitoring.
Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting): Involuntary nighttime urination in children beyond the typical age of bladder control.
Spina Bifida: A birth defect where the spinal cord does not close properly, leading to potential bladder and bowel dysfunction.
Urolithiasis (Kidney/Bladder Stones): The formation of stones in the urinary tract, causing pain, blood in urine, or infections.
Epispadias: A rare congenital condition where the urethral opening is on the top side of the penis, usually treated surgically.
