Patient's question:
My sister's child is a boy, who is 2 years old this year. Recently, I noticed that his genital area is somewhat red and swollen, which makes me very worried. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. What is pediatric urology?Doctor's answer:
The pediatric urology department is responsible for treating children's urinary systems, including surgical procedures such as treating undescended testicles, phimosis, hydrocele, and other conditions that require surgery. In most hospitals, the pediatric urology department does not specialize further. It is a subdepartment within pediatric surgery. It is recommended to undergo thorough examinations promptly to identify the underlying cause and seek treatment without delay.
