Common paediatric urological conditions
Paediatric urological conditions refer to medical conditions affecting the urinary tract, bladder and kidneys of children.
Some of the most common paediatric urological conditions include:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):
A UTI is a bacterial infection that affects the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
UTIs often result in painful or frequent urination, urine with an unpleasant odour, fever, and abdominal pain.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
This occurs as a result of urine flowing back from the bladder, into the ureters and kidneys. It can cause repeated UTIs, urinary incontinence and high blood pressure.
