Congenital Urologic Anomalies
Congenital urologic anomalies are birth defects affecting the urinary and reproductive systems. These conditions occur when the organs do not develop normally before birth. Examples include conditions like hypospadias, where the urethra opens on the underside of the penis, or renal agenesis, where one kidney does not form. Symptoms vary widely and can impact kidney function or urinary flow. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for managing these conditions and preventing complications. Pediatricians and specialists often work together to provide care tailored to each child's needs.
