Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult some questions. My cousin recently had a baby, but when everyone was immersed in joy, an accident happened. The baby was born with a congenital urinary system defect. The local medical level is limited and cannot treat it. They are preparing to take the child to the hospital to first understand how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
The development of pediatric urology and the continuous popularization of prenatal examinations have significantly improved the diagnosis and treatment of congenital anomalies of the pediatric urinary system. Over the past 30 years, there have been remarkable advancements in the treatment of hypospadias, with as many as 300 surgical methods available. It is recommended that the surgery be completed before entering kindergarten, ideally between the ages of 2 to 3. Undescended testes, in addition to causing psychological trauma in children, pose the greatest risk of infertility. Therefore, once diagnosed, undescended testes should be treated as early as possible. Currently, it is believed that monitoring for undescended testes should begin at birth. If no testes are found in the newborn's scrotum, medical attention should be sought from the urology department of a hospital. Undescended testes surgery should be performed between the ages of 1 to 2.
