Female & Pediatric Urology

Pediatric Urology is a surgical subspecialty focused on the evaluation and treatment of congenital and acquired disorders of the genitourinary tract in infants, children, and adolescents.

Pediatric urologists care for fetuses that have urologic abnormalities diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound and frequently care for prepubescent females with genital issues. While most pediatric urology patients are younger than 18 years of age, adults with congenital urologic abnormalities and/or reconstructive issues are also cared for by pediatric urologists.

Urology is a field of medicine focussing on diseases of the urinary tract system, which includes include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. Female and reconstructive urology is a sub-specialty of urology that treats and assesses patients with urinary incontinence, urological diseases and the reconstruction of the urinary tract.

Female urology is a subdivision of this sub-specialty and it covers a group of conditions that are experienced by women, such as urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and pelvic organ prolapse. A female urologist specialises in the treatment of these diseases and has a thorough knowledge of the female pelvic floor. They can also treat urological conditions which affect both sexes, including urinary tract infections (UTI), cystitis, kidney stones, kidney cancer and bladder cancer.
