Pediatric Urology

Pediatric urology is a specialized branch of urology dedicated to the management of urological conditions in children. This discipline addresses both functional disorders and congenital anomalies of the urinary and genital systems. Enuresis: A common condition in children, characterized by an inability to control urination during sleep. Enuresis can have various causes and requires appropriate management to help the child achieve optimal bladder control.Here are some key aspects:

  • Enuresis: A common condition in children, characterized by an inability to control urination during sleep. Enuresis can have various causes and requires appropriate management to help the child achieve optimal bladder control.
  • Congenital Malformations: These anomalies, present from birth, affect the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, bladder) and often require specialized follow-up. Early detection allows timely intervention to prevent long-term complications.
  • Circumcision: Circumcision is a surgical procedure that may be performed for medical, cultural, or religious reasons. In pediatric urology, it is part of a comprehensive approach aimed at optimizing the child’s health and well-being.
  • Varicocele: Although typically diagnosed during adolescence, a varicocele—an abnormal dilation of the veins in the scrotum—can be assessed in pediatric urology. Monitoring helps prevent potential effects on future fertility and ensures healthy development.

In summary, pediatric urology offers a tailored approach for each young patient, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques and personalized care to ensure the best possible follow-up throughout growth and development.
