Pediatric Urological diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the urinary tract and genital system in children. These can include urinary tract infections (UTIs), congenital abnormalities, bladder dysfunction, kidney stones, and more. Such diseases can cause discomfort, pain, and emotional distress, impacting a child's overall health and development. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent complications and ensure optimal urinary health.

We take a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating urological diseases in children. Our team begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and advanced imaging techniques, to identify the specific condition affecting your child.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

For UTIs, we typically prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection. We also educate parents and children about prevention strategies, such as proper hygiene and hydration, to minimize future occurrences.

Bladder Dysfunction

Children with bladder dysfunction may require a combination of behavioral therapy and medication. Our specialists work closely with families to develop effective management plans that may include bladder training exercises and dietary adjustments.

Kidney, Ureteric, and Bladder Stones Treatments

Kidney, ureteric, and bladder stones are hard mineral deposits that can form in the urinary tract. These stones can vary in size and may cause significant pain, especially when they move within the urinary system. To treat these stones, our skilled urologists use advanced techniques tailored to each child's needs. One common method is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break the stones into smaller pieces that can be easily passed in the urine. For larger stones, ureteroscopy might be performed, where a small scope is inserted through the urethra to directly remove the stones. If needed, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may be used, which involves making a tiny incision in the back to access and remove larger stones.

Congenital Urological Anomalies Treatment

Congenital urological anomalies are birth defects that affect the structure of the urinary tract. These anomalies can involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra and may lead to complications such as urinary obstruction or infections. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to ensuring proper urinary function and overall health.

Treatment for congenital urological anomalies often involves surgery to correct the structural issues. Our urologists begin with a thorough evaluation using advanced imaging to understand the specific anomaly. Depending on the condition, procedures may involve repairing the urinary tract, repositioning organs, or even reconstructing sections of the bladder.

Urethral Stricture Treatment

Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This condition can make it difficult for children to urinate, leading to discomfort and potential complications like urinary infections. Strictures can result from previous injuries, infections, or congenital factors.

To treat urethral stricture, our urologist employs various techniques tailored to the child's condition. One effective method is dilation, where a series of progressively larger instruments are used to widen the narrowed urethra gently. For more severe cases, a urethroplasty may be performed, which involves removing the affected section of the urethra and reconnecting the healthy parts. This procedure restores normal urine flow and significantly improves the child's comfort and health.

Hypospadias Treatment

Hypospadias is a condition where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. This congenital condition can lead to difficulties with urination and may affect the child's self-esteem as they grow older. Early treatment is essential to address any functional or cosmetic concerns.

Hypospadias treatment typically involves surgery to reposition the urethral opening to its correct location. This is usually done when the child is between 6 months and 18 months old. The procedure, performed under general anesthesia, involves using the surrounding tissue to create a new urethral opening at the tip of the penis.
