What Are the Kinds of Urologic Disorders Affecting Children?

Certain urological issues frequently occur in children, such as cryptorchidism (undescended testes), congenital abnormalities of the genitourinary tract, enuresis, underdeveloped genitalia (caused by delayed growth or delayed puberty, often due to an endocrinological problem), and vesicoureteral reflux.

Common Pediatric Urology Disorders

• Cryptorchidism (Undescended Testicle)
• Enuresis (Bedwetting)
• Underdeveloped Genitalia
• Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

Let us get to know in detail about each of these conditions:

Cryptorchidism (Undescended Testicle)

This happens when one or both of a boy child’s testicles don’t move down into the scrotum (the sac below the penis) before birth. Normally, the testicles descend independently, but in some cases, they stay in the belly or groin area. This is a congenital condition that usually corrects itself and resolves within a year of birth. It is important to address this issue because the testicles need to be in the scrotum for proper development and fertility. Occasionally, minor surgery may be necessary to position them in the scrotum.

Enuresis (Bedwetting)

The child has bladder control issues as a result of this problem. These kids are frequently blamed for being bedwetters since they can't control their pee. However, it's not really their fault. They can't hold their pee because of a medical ailment. This is typical behavior for kids under the age of five or six. However, you should see a urologist as soon as possible to seek treatment if it continues. Oral medications are used to treat enuresis. You can visit Shree Srinivasa Urocare Hospital and speak with our professional about the same if your child is experiencing similar problems.

Underdeveloped Genitalia

This is a condition where a child’s external reproductive organs, like the penis or labia, don't grow normally. This condition can be present at birth or may occur due to injury to the testes or hormonal imbalances. Regardless of the cause, you can trust that your child will receive excellent care at Shree Srinivasa Urocare. Our medical professionals have successfully treated numerous children with various urological conditions for more than a decade.

Obstructive Uropathies

Obstructive uropathies occur when something blocks the normal flow of urine. This blockage can happen anywhere along the urinary tract, from the kidneys to the urethra. In children, it may be caused by birth defects or swelling in the urinary passage. Left untreated, it can lead to long-term kidney damage, so early diagnosis and management are key.

Hydronephrosis

Hydronephrosis is a condition in which one or both kidneys swell due to the accumulation of urine. It can occur due to a blockage in the urinary tract or an obstruction that prevents urine from draining properly. In infants and children, it may be detected through prenatal scans or identified by symptoms such as urinary tract infections, pain, or a swollen abdomen.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

UTIs are fairly common in children, especially in girls and uncircumcised boys. Symptoms may include fever, foul-smelling urine, frequent urination, and irritability in babies. Repeated UTIs could be a sign of an underlying problem in the urinary tract and should always be checked by a specialist.

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

This occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys and bladder) and sometimes into the kidneys. Normally, urine should only flow down from the kidneys to the bladder. This condition can increase the risk of kidney infections and damage. If your child experiences discomfort during urination or has cloudy urine or an ongoing urge to urinate, they may have vesicoureteral reflux. This condition can be treated with a surgical procedure. Therefore, it is important to promptly schedule an appointment with a Urologist. We at Shree Srinivasa Urocare Hospital offer comprehensive solutions for various urological issues.
