Pediatric Bladder Testing in Bangalore | Shree Srinivasa Uro Care

If your child struggles with frequent urination, bedwetting, urine leakage, or trouble emptying the bladder, it may be more than just a phase. These symptoms could be linked to an underlying bladder or neurological condition. At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care Hospital, we offer pediatric urodynamic testing in Bangalore to evaluate your child’s bladder function and guide the right treatment under the dedicated care of Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar, a leading urologist with over 18 years of experience.

What Is Pediatric Urodynamics?

Pediatric urodynamic testing is a group of specialized diagnostic tests designed to examine how well a child’s bladder and urethra work together to store and release urine. These tests provide crucial insights into conditions such as:

• Urinary incontinence (leakage)
• Bedwetting
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty in urination
• Reflux (urine flowing back toward the kidneys)
• Neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction due to nerve issues)
• Outflow obstruction (blockage at the bladder outlet)

By identifying the root cause early, pediatric urodynamic testing helps develop a personalized treatment plan to protect your child’s kidney and bladder health long-term.

Why Does Your Child Need a Urodynamics Test?

Children are not always able to clearly explain their symptoms, which makes an accurate diagnosis essential. Urodynamics tests help:

• Diagnose the type and severity of bladder issues
• Decide whether your child needs medication, behavior therapy, or surgery.
• Track how well current treatments are working
• Prevent complications such as kidney damage or recurrent infections

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we believe in treating the root cause, not just the symptoms, with empathy and medical excellence.

How Is the Test Performed?

Depending on your child’s condition, one or more of the following tests may be recommended:

• Uroflowmetry (Non-Invasive): Your child is asked to urinate into a special device that records urine flow rate and pattern. This test is simple and requires no sedation.
• Cystometry (Invasive Urodynamics): Small catheters are placed in the bladder and rectum to measure bladder pressure during filling and emptying. In some cases, imaging (X-rays) is done simultaneously to visualize bladder movement.
• Catheter Placement Under Sedation: If your child is anxious or unable to tolerate catheter placement while awake, the test is done under mild sedation or anesthesia. Once the test is completed, all devices are gently removed and your child is monitored for an hour.

All tests are performed with the utmost care and comfort, making the process as child-friendly as possible.

What to Expect Before, During, and After the Test

Before the test, Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar will walk you through the procedure. You may be asked to avoid certain foods or fluids before the test.

During the test, the procedure takes around 1–2 hours. Your child will be cared for by a compassionate team in a safe, calm setting.

After the test, there might be mild discomfort after catheter removal, but it typically subsides within a few hours. The results are reviewed promptly, and Dr. Kumar will recommend the next steps for treatment.
