When Should You See a Pediatric Urologist?
You do not have to wait until a problem becomes severe before consulting a pediatric urologist. Consider scheduling a consultation if your child has:
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Difficulty or pain while passing urine
- Bedwetting beyond the expected age
- Swelling in the groin or genital area
- Blood in the urine
- A urinary tract abnormality found before or after birth, such as antenatal hydronephrosis
- A testis that has not descended
- Fever along with urinary symptoms
Seek immediate medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, severe pain or swelling in the groin or scrotum, sudden swelling or redness of the testicles, or inability to pass urine.
Common Pediatric Urological Concerns
Urinary Tract Infections and Reflux
Common signs include fever, pain during urination, frequent urination, foul-smelling urine, blood in the urine, lower abdominal pain and irritability in younger children. Recurrent infections may need evaluation for conditions such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
Hydronephrosis and PUJ Obstruction
Swelling of the kidney may be found before birth (antenatal hydronephrosis) or later in childhood. It is evaluated to understand the cause, which can include pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction.
Hypospadias, Undescended Testis and Phimosis
These genital conditions are assessed by a specialist. The timing and type of treatment depend on your child’s age and condition.
Groin and Scrotal Conditions
Inguinal hernia, hydrocele, varicocele and torsion of the testis fall in this group. Sudden swelling or severe pain in the groin or scrotum needs prompt medical attention.
Bedwetting and Voiding Problems
Many children outgrow bedwetting, but persistent cases may need evaluation to look for an underlying urinary or bladder problem.
Our Approach to Pediatric Urological Care
At MITR Hospital, care begins with understanding what is causing your child’s symptoms. The next steps depend on the diagnosis, your child’s age and individual clinical circumstances.
STEP 1
Assess Your Child’s Condition
The pediatric urologist reviews your child’s symptoms and history, examines your child and advises tests where needed.
STEP 2
Explore Treatment Options
Options are discussed with you based on the diagnosis and your child’s age and needs. Many conditions can be managed with observation and medicines.
STEP 3
Plan Your Child’s Treatment
The care plan is explained to you in advance and may include observation, medicines or other suitable treatments.
STEP 4
Consider Surgery Only When Needed
Surgery is recommended only when necessary. Where suitable, minimally invasive approaches may be considered.
The goal is not to choose surgery simply because it is available, but to choose the care that suits your child. Decisions are made together with you.
