Paediatric Urology

We are dedicated to treating and caring for the urological needs of children from infancy through adolescence.

We understand that medical issues in children can be concerning for parents, and our goal is to provide a comforting environment where we address these concerns with empathy and expertise.

What Is Paediatric Urology?

Paediatric urology focuses on the disorders of urinary organs in children, such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, as well as the reproductive system in males.

It involves diagnosing, treating, and managing urological problems in children, which can range from minor to complex conditions.

What Common Conditions Are Treated in Paediatric Urology?

Dr Afolayan treats a variety of paediatric urological conditions, including:

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs) that recur or complicate
• Vesicoureteral reflux (backward flow of urine from the bladder into the kidneys)
• Phimosis (tight foreskin)
• Undescended testes (testicles that have not moved into the scrotum)
• Hypospadias (the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis)
• Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting)
• Congenital abnormalities of the urinary and reproductive systems

How Are Paediatric Urological Conditions Diagnosed?

Diagnosis starts with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Dr Afolayan may use various diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), or blood tests, to better understand and accurately diagnose the condition.

These tools help us pinpoint the exact issue and guide the treatment plan.

What Are the Treatment Options?

Treatment options in paediatric urology vary widely based on the condition and its severity but can include medication, noninvasive therapies, and surgery.

Dr Afolayan emphasises the least invasive and most effective treatment approaches, aiming to ensure your child's comfort and health.

Surgical interventions are recommended only when absolutely necessary and are performed using the latest techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Can These Conditions Affect My Child Long Term?

Many paediatric urological conditions, when treated early and effectively, have no lasting effects.

However, some conditions may require ongoing management to prevent long-term complications.

Our care includes monitoring and follow-ups to address any potential long-term impacts.
