Childhood, a phase marked by ongoing growth and development, often necessitates parental guidance and sensitivity in various matters. Health issues encountered during childhood can pose more intricate challenges compared to adulthood. In Pediatric Urology, numerous conditions affecting the sexual organs during development demand specific medical techniques and treatments tailored for children, distinguishing them from adults. Diagnosis, treatment, and follow-ups for urological conditions in patients aged 0-16 years address issues known before birth or arising after birth.
Pediatric Urology clinics specialize in minimal scarring, swift healing, and painless treatments utilizing minimally invasive techniques. Cystoscopic methods are effectively employed in circumcision, undescended testis, kidney and bladder stones, tumors, and infections.
Conditions Treated in Pediatric Urology Clinics:
Undescended Testicle: Failure of testicles to descend into the scrotum after birth, often necessitating surgical intervention before age 1.
Hydrocele: Accumulation of excess fluid around the testicles, causing swelling, diagnosed through patient history and clinical examination.
Spermatic Cord Cyst: Formation of a cyst filled with fluid in the groin or surrounding areas, similar to hydrocele, treated in Pediatric Surgery clinics.
Hypospadias: A congenital condition where the urethra opening is located on the underside of the penis, requiring surgical correction.
Epididymoorchitis: Infection of the epididymis, occasionally occurring in childhood but more common in adulthood.
Infections like Balanitis, Postitis, and Prostatitis: Infectious conditions affecting the male genitalia, requiring evaluation by Pediatric Urology specialists for proper treatment.
Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the testicles causing infertility issues, typically necessitating surgical intervention.
Kidney Cysts, Tumors, and Stones: Cysts, tumors, or stones in the kidneys affecting organ function, sometimes requiring surgical removal.
Ureteral and Bladder Junction Strictures: Narrowing or blockages in the kidney ducts, needing immediate treatment.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR): Urine backflow from the bladder to the ureters, commonly occurring in young children, treatable through surgical interventions.
Bladder Infections and Stones: Infections and stones in the bladder, if untreated, can threaten kidney health and must be addressed promptly.
Exstrophy Vesica: A rare congenital condition where the bladder opens outside the abdomen, requiring surgical procedures for treatment.
