Pediatric urology is a surgical subspecialty which deals with the disorders of children's genitourinary systems. Pediatric urologists are surgeons who provide this care for both boys and girls ranging from birth to early adult age. The most common problems are those involving disorders of urination, reproductive organs and testes. Off late a major portion of pediatric urology as in west in our country involves treatment of bladder dysfunction either acquired (bowel bladder dysfunction). Or congenital (neurogenic). Bladder dysfunction results in child being always wet in there diapers or underpants that greatly affects his/her quality of life and confidence. It is my endeavor in helping such children achieve dryness. Chronic constipation also accompanies bladder dysfunction frequently. As a specialist in pediatric and adolescent urology, I provide surgical and medical care for all genito-urinary conditions.
