Pediatric Urology

What is Pediatrics?

Pediatrics is a branch of medical science focused on the treatment of infants, children, and teenagers, typically up to the age of 18.

Pediatricians diagnose and treat health conditions by closely monitoring a child’s development, providing preventive care through vaccinations, and offering comprehensive nutrition plans for overall growth and well-being.

At Nirmal Hospital, our pediatricians are committed to promoting healthy development and ensuring the overall well-being of children.

Treatments and Procedures

Pediatric Urologists at Nirmal Hospital closely monitor and examine each child's health to create personalized treatment plans for the urinary tract and reproductive organs. Below are the specialized treatments and procedures our pediatric urology experts follow:

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Hypospadias and Epispadias Repair
• Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicles
• Endoscopic Procedures
• VUR Treatment (Deflux Injection & Reimplantation)
• Kidney Stone Management
• Specialized Voiding Therapy

Conditions treated at Nirmal Hospital — Pediatric Urology

• Bed-wetting (nocturnal enuresis) / urinary incontinence in children.
• Congenital / developmental urinary tract problems such as
• Posterior Urethral Valves (PU-valves) — a blockage in the urethra of male infants.
• Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR) — abnormal backward flow of urine from bladder to ureters/kidneys
• Pelvi Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJ obstruction) — blockage at the junction between kidney pelvis and ureter, interfering with normal urine flow.
• Congenital / childhood urinary stone disease (kidney or bladder stones) — “pediatric stone diseases.
• Genital / urethral structural abnormalities such as Hypospadias (urethral opening not at the tip of penis).

What kinds of issues

Other urinary tract problems in children (which may include frequent urinary tract infections, reflux or obstructive causes, etc). According to general pediatric-urology practice elsewhere (and what Nirmal Hospital likely follows), children may be referred if they show symptoms such as:

• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Pain, burning or difficulty during urination (dysuria)
• Blood in urine (hematuria) or abnormal urine stream (weak stream, straining)
• Urinary incontinence, bed-wetting beyond expected age
• Abnormally located or shaped genitalia or urinary opening (in males)
• Hernia / hydrocele / undescended testis (when applicable)
• • Diagnosed anatomical anomalies of kidney/ureter/ bladder on ultrasound
