Children have their own urological concerns — bedwetting, foreskin problems, undescended testes, urinary infections and daytime wetting. Most are common, rarely serious, and respond well to a calm, appropriate approach.

With children, the priority is a gentle, non-frightening visit: history, a careful examination and non-invasive tests first, with clear explanations for both child and parent.
If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.
We talk with child and parent and examine carefully and reassuringly.
A simple, non-invasive urine test screens for infection.
Painless imaging assesses the kidneys, bladder or testes if indicated.
A short bladder diary helps separate maturation delay from other causes.
A structured plan: fluid timing, constipation management, alarms and, when appropriate, short-term medication.
Hygiene guidance and treatment of infection; surgery only when genuinely indicated.
Undescended testes and other problems are assessed and referred for surgery when needed.
Clear English instructions so families manage care confidently between visits.
Children are seen patiently and without unnecessary invasive testing here, with clear English explanations for parents, by a board-certified urologist. Conservative care comes first, and surgery is reserved for genuine indications.
Occasional bedwetting is normal up to about age 5–6. Beyond that, or if a dry child starts again, an evaluation is reasonable and usually reassuring.
Usually not in young boys — it often resolves with time and hygiene. Surgery is reserved for specific, repeated problems.
An undescended testis should be assessed, as it may need treatment. We evaluate and refer for surgery when indicated.
The core tests — urinalysis and ultrasound — are non-invasive and painless.
