Comprehensive urinary tract health care
Specialized care for children’s urinary system health
Pediatric urinary tract conditions require accurate diagnosis and special care, due to the sensitivity of this age group and the nature of physical growth.
At Dr. Yaman Al Tal’s clinic—Consultant in Urology and Men’s & Children’s Health—we provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment for all urinary system disorders in children, using the latest techniques and a gentle medical approach that prioritizes the child’s comfort.
What are pediatric urinary tract conditions?
Pediatric urinary tract conditions include a range of issues affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. Some appear from birth (congenital), while others develop as the child grows.
Common conditions include:
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Urine reflux from the bladder back to the ureter (VUR)
Urinary obstruction or urethral narrowing
Bedwetting at night
Congenital kidney problems or dilation of the renal pelvis (hydronephrosis)
Undescended testicle or inguinal hernia in boys

Testicular torsion
A medical emergency that happens when the testicle twists around the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply. Without urgent surgical intervention, the testicle may be lost within 6 hours.
Most cases occur in children and teenagers, but it can happen at any age. Typically, the patient feels sudden testicular pain with redness and swelling of the scrotum, and it may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain and nausea or vomiting.
These symptoms can overlap with other conditions such as testicular inflammation, but if your child feels testicular pain, you should go immediately to the nearest emergency department.
The best way to diagnose is to surgically explore the scrotum, examine the testicle, and fix it in place if torsion is found.
Undescended testicle in children
An undescended testicle is a common condition in children. It affects about 3 out of every 100 babies born at full term, and the rate increases to about 30 out of every 100 babies born prematurely. Usually, only one testicle fails to descend into the scrotum; in a small percentage (about 10%), both testicles fail to descend.
It is discovered during the baby’s medical exam after birth. Most often, the testicle is in the inguinal canal, and in some cases it is inside the abdomen. In this situation, the doctor may recommend waiting until the baby is 4–6 months old with regular follow-up, because the testicle may descend naturally as the child grows during this period.
Retractile testicle in children
A retractile testicle is another common condition in children. It usually happens due to overactivity of the cremaster muscle that lifts the testicle. Contraction of this muscle (which may be a reflex triggered by touch, laughter, fear, or temperature changes) can pull the testicle upward toward the body (either toward the inguinal canal or into the abdomen).
A retractile testicle moves easily in and out of the scrotum instead of staying there all the time, without causing pain or discomfort to the child.

FAQ — Pediatric Urology
Is urinary tract infection common in children?
Yes—especially in girls due to the shorter urethra—but it is completely treatable with early diagnosis and preventive guidance.
Can kidney problems in children affect growth?
In some cases, yes. That’s why it’s recommended to see a doctor as soon as any unusual symptoms appear, to ensure timely intervention.
Is bedwetting at night a health problem?
If it continues frequently after the age of five, the case should be evaluated to rule out urinary or behavioral causes. It can usually be treated with simple plans.
What is vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)?
A condition in which urine flows back from the bladder to the ureter or kidneys instead of leaving the body normally. It leads to recurrent UTIs and may damage the kidneys if not treated. It’s usually diagnosed with contrast imaging and treated with medication or minor surgery.
Does an undescended testicle need surgery?
Yes. If the testicle does not descend to its normal position during the first year of life, early surgical intervention is recommended to avoid future effects on fertility or an increased risk of tumors.
When should you consult a pediatric urologist?
It’s recommended if symptoms appear such as pain or difficulty during urination, recurrent infections, bedwetting after age five, or any change in urine color, or swelling in the genital area.
