The average age for hypospadias correction has decreased over time, settling between 4 and 12 months. In most situations of healthy youngsters, within 1 year is the ideal time to do the surgery.  It is not safe for anaesthesia for infants under 6 months. In almost all cases, the repair should be done before the infant turns one year old since the infant recovers faster, appears to have less morbidity, and is less mobile.

While it’s understandable for children to wet the bed now and then, especially during toilet training and as their bladders expand, it shouldn’t become a regular thing. Bladder control takes time to develop, but if your child is wetting the bed on a regular basis at the age of 5 or 6, it could be an indication of urinary incontinence. Stress or anxiety can make you pee your bed. When they’re older and wetting the bed more frequently, they’re showing signs of trouble. It can be aggravating, but it could be an indication of something more serious.

UTIs are more common in girls, but they can also affect guys. When germs or bacteria enter the urethra and aren’t flushed out during urine, they cause infections. Bedwetting, along with pain or burning while peeing, an overall sick feeling, cloudy or bloody urine, foul-smelling urine, or the urge to urinate frequently, can be signs of a UTI.

Undescended testicles occur when the testicles do not drop on their own after a few months. The testes should drop into the scrotum near the end of pregnancy or once their hormones have settled a few months after delivery in typical circumstances. The teste does not fall into the scrotum and instead remains in the abdominal wall in the case of undescended testicles. The reason for undescended testicles is unknown, however it is a serious condition and should be treated by a pediatric urologist.

Kidney stones are small, pebble-like stones that form when certain minerals in your urine calcify and build up in your kidneys. This can lead to the formation of small to large stones that are difficult to pass. Lithotripsy can be used if the stones are too large to pass normally or are causing severe pain. Lithotripsy is a procedure that uses shock waves to break up kidney stones, making them more manageable and allowing them to pass without surgery. Surgery may be required in extreme situations.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition in which urine flows backwards from the bladder to the kidney instead of passing via the ureters and out the body.

When an organ pushes through a gap in the muscle or tissue that surrounds it, a hernia develops. Many adults have dealt with a hernia at some point in their lives. Hernias can occur at any age. They affect newborns more frequently than toddlers or teenagers, and they must be treated to avoid serious consequences. It’s crucial to keep an eye out for any bulges that appear and disappear or grow in size during stress or when your child is screaming.
