Child urology Pediatric urology

Child urology or pediatric urology is a science that cares of correcting congenital malformation to preserve the function of organs, in particular the kidneys, the bladder and the testicles. The science of child urology or pediatric urology cares for benign and malignant disease of the child. Oncological diseases in this domain are the tumours of the suprarenal gland and the kidney which constitue the most common two malignancies of this organs system. They constitute danger as they appear in a very early stage.They need high skill intheir treatment which of particular importance when it comes to the renal tumour which may necessitates the administration of chemotherapy.

The benign diseases of child urology or pediatric urology are discovered through non specific symptoms such as high temperature, urinary infection, loss of apetite or gradual loss of weight. These diseases divert into multiple cysts of the kidney, polycystic kidney, narrow upper ureter, absence of a kidney or union of both kidneys or shortness of the iteraureteric tunnel which leads to the bladder which results in urinary reflux of urine or failure of the development of a part of the wall and consequently the abdominal wall. Further there could be congenital malformation of the urethra or undescending of the testis to their right place or the uncontrolled loss of urine which is the most common disease in child urology or pediatric urology. The main two reasons for these diseases are the chromosomal or hormonal disturbance while the child is still inside the uterus.

The treatment of urological disease requires good diagnosis in specialised praxis or hospital. This is particularly because the child disease may requires anaesthesia which is a challenge for both the anaesthesia and urology specialists as it requires special care of the child and experience for the patients in this age as well as fast reactions to minimise the time of exposure to anaesthesia. This is why child urology or pediatric urology has been separated as a speciality for itself. The early treatment of child tumours may preserve their life and the treatment of reflux will keep the function of the kidney and helps development of the child. The same goes right if the testis is fixed in the right place which helps to avoid its cancer transformation and preserves its reproductive ability while treatment of hypospadius will help the child to enjoy healthy psych and body.
