Paediatric urology focuses on urinary and reproductive system disorders in children. This specialty addresses congenital anomalies, infections, and developmental issues.

Common Conditions:

• Cryptorchidism: Undescended testes, which may require surgery to correct.
• Hypospadias: A condition where the urethral opening is not at the tip of the penis, often requiring corrective surgery.
• Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR): A condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys, increasing the risk of UTIs and kidney damage.
• Enuresis (bedwetting): Common in children, treated with behavioral therapy, medications, or alarms.

Treatment:

• Surgery: For conditions like cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and VUR.
• Medications: Antibiotics for UTIs or anticholinergics for overactive bladder.
• Behavioral interventions: Bladder training and alarm systems for bedwetting.

Outcome: Many paediatric urological conditions can be corrected with surgery or managed with medication. Early diagnosis and treatment improve long-term outcomes.
