Children's urological conditions are not simply smaller versions of adult disease. Many are present from birth, and treatment is timed to the child's growth, development, and the protection of future kidney and sexual function. Common concerns include undescended testis, hypospadias, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux, urinary infection, bedwetting that persists and foreskin problems.
Parents looking for a pediatric urologist in Mumbai will find that doctors often first observe and treat medically, since some problems improve as the child grows. Surgery is advised when kidney function is at risk or when correction is best done in early childhood. Risks include anaesthetic risk, bleeding, infection, wound problems, and, for reconstructive surgery, the possibility of a second procedure, all of which are explained to parents before consent.
