Pediatric Urology

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

• Cause: Bacterial infection in the urinary tract; may be linked to poor hygiene, constipation, or urinary tract abnormalities (VUR, PUV, PUJO etc).
• Symptoms: Pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, fever, abdominal/flank pain, or foul-smelling urine.
• Treatment: Antibiotics, hydration, and surgical correction of underlying anatomical abnormalities to save kidneys from getting damaged.

Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis)

• Cause: Abnormal bladder function, constipation, deep sleep patterns, genetics, or underlying medical issues.
• Symptoms: Involuntary urination during sleep beyond age of 6 years.
• Treatment: Bladder training, moisture alarms, behavioral changes and medication if needed.

Undescended Testes (Cryptorchidism)

• Cause: Failure of one or both testes to move into the scrotum before birth.
• Symptoms: Absence of one or both testes in scrotum leading to empty or smaller-than-expected scrotum.
• Treatment: Corrective surgery (orchiopexy) to bring testes in their normal location. Ideal age for this surgery is 6 months.

Hypospadias

• Cause: Urethral opening develops on the undersurface of the penis instead of its tip, often due to hormonal or genetic factors.
• Symptoms: Abnormally directed urinary stream, downward penile curve, abnormally located urinary opening.
• Treatment: Surgical correction to straighten the penis, and urethral reconstruction for acceptable functional and cosmetic outcome. These children may require multiple surgeries.

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

• Cause: Incompetent Vesicoureteric junction allowing urine to flow backward into the ureters/kidneys.
• Symptoms: Recurrent UTIs, fever, flank pain, chronic kidney disease.
• Treatment: Continuous antibiotic prophylaxis for low grade reflux with stable kidney function, surgery for high grade reflux or cases not responding to antibiotic prophylaxis.

Kidney Stones in Children

• Cause: Dehydration episodes, diet high in oxalate, or metabolic disorders.
• Symptoms: Blood in urine, severe flank or abdominal pain, nausea, frequent urination or urinary retention.
• Treatment: Optimal hydration, dietary changes, medications, or surgical removal if stones are large or causing blockage in urinary tract.

Bladder Control Problems (Neurogenic Bladder)

• Cause: Overactive bladder, delayed bladder maturity, or underline neurological disorders.
• Symptoms: Urgency, frequency, dribbling of urine, daytime wetting, urinary retention, accidents.
• Treatment: Bladder retraining, pelvic floor exercises, medications, treatment of underlying conditions including surgical correction.

Urogenital Abnormalities

(e.g. Hypospadias, Epispadias, Urogenital Sinus, Penoscrotal Web)

• Cause: Developmental defects.
• Symptoms: Visible differences in genital shape, size, or location.
• Treatment: Timely surgical correction, parental counseling and long term follow up to achieve optimal functional and cosmetic outcome.

Prenatal Urology Concerns

• Cause: Urinary tract abnormalities of fetus detected by ultrasound during pregnancy.
• Symptoms: Often symptomless before birth; postnatal issues depend on the specific surgical condition
• Treatment: Monitoring during pregnancy, immediate postnatal evaluation, and surgery if needed.
