Fetal Urology

Fetal urology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the urinary and reproductive systems of unborn babies. It involves monitoring and diagnosing conditions such as urinary tract obstructions or abnormalities in the kidneys while the baby is still in the womb. Using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound, doctors can identify potential issues early on, allowing for timely intervention or planning for treatment after birth. This field is crucial for ensuring the health of both the mother and the baby, addressing any complications that may affect development or function before the baby is born.
