At our clinic, we provide comprehensive paediatric urology services with the aim of diagnosing and treating urinary and genital conditions in infants, children and adolescents. Our approach combines medical expertise with sensitivity and care, creating a safe and reassuring environment for both children and their families.
Undescended Testicles (Cryptorchidism)
Undescended testicles should be ruled out in the first postnatal examinations. If a testicle remains in the abdomen or groin area, it may shrink over time and increase the risk of developing testicular cancer by 20 to 40 times. Surgical correction should ideally take place before the child reaches 18 months of age.
Phimosis (Tight Foreskin)
Phimosis is a common finding in early childhood and is usually physiological. However, if it causes inflammation, pain, or urinary obstruction, treatment may be necessary. We offer gentle options, including the “triple incision” technique, which enlarges the foreskin without full circumcision.
Vesicoureteral Reflux
This condition involves a congenital abnormality where urine flows backward from the bladder to the ureters and kidneys, risking kidney damage over time. Many cases resolve naturally, but persistent or severe reflux may require monitoring or minimally invasive surgery.
Hypospadias and Epispadias
These rare congenital conditions involve abnormal openings of the urethra. Minor forms are often cosmetic and do not need surgery. More significant cases can be corrected surgically, sometimes using foreskin tissue or a small graft of oral mucosa to reconstruct the urethra.
Bedwetting (Enuresis)
Enuresis is common in children and is usually not a sign of serious illness. It affects:
- 25% of 4-year-olds
- 10% of 7-year-olds
- Up to 2% of teenagers
- 1% of adults Though not dangerous, it can impact a child’s self-esteem and confidence. Most cases respond well to non-drug therapies tailored to the child’s needs.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs in children are uncommon but often linked to congenital abnormalities. If infections recur, a full evaluation is recommended. We can perform the necessary diagnostic tests on an outpatient basis in our clinic.
Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis)
When kidney stones occur in children, they are often linked to metabolic disorders. These cause increased excretion of certain substances in the urine, leading to stone formation. Treatment typically involves shock wave therapy (ESWL) and management of the underlying metabolic issue.
Our clinic combines advanced diagnostics with child-centred care to ensure that every child receives the right treatment in a compassionate environment. If your child is experiencing urological symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact us—we are here to help with experience, kindness and the latest medical tools.
