Top Urology Specialist In Mumbai
If your child has any genital or urinary complaint, he must be taken to a paediatric urologist. These complaints include urinary infection with fever, pain and burning sensation while passing urine, having to strain while passing urine, frequent urination, urinary incontinence, and abdominal pain in the flanks with the pain radiating down to the genital region. These might be symptoms of congenital defects like undescended testicle, phimosis, balanoposthitis, hydronephrosis with obstruction at the junction of the pelvis and ureter, or ureter and bladder, reflux of urine from the bladder to the kidney, outlet obstruction (in males) called posterior urethral valves, and duplicated kidneys.
