Child-Friendly Pediatric Urology Diagnosis & Treatment
Pediatric urology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating urinary tract and genital conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This service addresses concerns such as urinary tract infections, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testis, hypospadias, hydrocele, and congenital kidney or bladder abnormalities. Care is designed specifically for children, emphasizing gentle evaluation, minimally invasive treatment options, and faster recovery. Early detection and timely management help prevent long-term complications while supporting normal growth and development. With child-centered care, advanced technology, and evidence-based treatment approaches, pediatric urology ensures safe, effective solutions that promote healthy urinary function and overall well-being for growing children.
Conditions we treat in children
- Undescended testis: a testicle not in the scrotum, ideally corrected by surgery (orchiopexy) between 6 and 18 months of age
- Hydrocele and inguinal hernia in boys
- Phimosis and recurrent foreskin infection
- Hypospadias: urine opening on the underside of the penis, repaired in infancy
- Hydronephrosis and PUJ obstruction, often first seen on pregnancy scans, treated by pyeloplasty when needed
- Vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR): urine flowing back to the kidneys, causing repeated infections
- Recurrent urinary tract infections, daytime wetting and bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis)
- Kidney and bladder stones in children
Warning signs parents should not ignore
- Fever without an obvious cause, especially in infants, which can be a urine infection
- Crying or straining while passing urine, a weak or dribbling stream, or ballooning of the foreskin
- An empty scrotum or swelling in the groin
- Sudden pain or swelling of the testis, which can be torsion and needs emergency care within hours
- Bedwetting that continues beyond 6–7 years, or new wetting after being dry
Our approach
Children are assessed with gentle, child-friendly tests: ultrasound, urine tests and, when needed, specialised scans such as MCU or DTPA/DMSA. Many conditions can be watched or treated with medicines. When surgery is needed, keyhole and day-care techniques are used wherever possible so your child returns home and to school quickly. Parents are involved in every decision.
