More Details
The genitourinary system is made up of your child’s urinary and genital organs, which are located close together and sometimes interact with each other. Congenital (from birth) abnormalities that affect the urinary tract and genitals – such as the penis and testes in males, and the uterus and vagina in females – may happen during fetal development and can cause problems with reproductive function and properly cleansing the body of waste through urine.
The pediatric urology team at Children’s Health℠ specializes in diagnosing and treating rare and unique genitourinary birth defects and disorders in newborns and young children. As one of the largest health care centers in the state providing treatment for these complex conditions, we have the experience needed to help your child regain genitourinary function and restore the health of their urinary and genital organs. Our goal is to answer your questions and work with you to develop a treatment plan that is customized to your child’s specific condition.
