Pediatric Urology
Pediatric urology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions in children, including congenital anomalies and developmental disorders affecting the urinary tract and genitalia. Two common conditions treated in pediatric urology are hypospadias and stricture urethra. Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. Stricture urethra involves the narrowing or scarring of the urethra, which can obstruct the flow of urine and lead to various urinary symptoms.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital Urology & IVF Centre, led by Dr. Harsha. our team of experienced pediatric urologists specializes in the diagnosis and management of pediatric urological conditions, including hypospadias and stricture urethra. We understand the unique needs of children and their families and are committed to providing compassionate care and support throughout the treatment process.
Treatment for hypospadias typically involves surgical correction to reposition the urethral opening to the tip of the penis and reconstruct the surrounding tissue to create a cosmetically pleasing appearance and improve urinary function. Our skilled pediatric urologists utilize advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal outcomes while minimizing complications and preserving erectile function and urinary continence.
For stricture urethra, treatment options may include urethral dilation, urethrotomy (incision of the stricture), or urethroplasty (surgical reconstruction of the urethra). The choice of treatment depends on the severity and location of the stricture and the child’s overall health and anatomy. Our team works closely with each patient and their family to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support to children with urological conditions, helping them achieve optimal health and quality of life. If your child is experiencing symptoms of hypospadias, stricture urethra, or any other urological condition, we encourage you to contact us.
