Pediatric Bladder and Urethral Injuries

Pediatric bladder and urethral injuries refer to damage to the bladder or urethra in children, often resulting from trauma, such as falls, accidents, or sports injuries. Symptoms may include difficulty urinating, blood in urine, or abdominal pain. Because children's bodies are still developing, these injuries can sometimes lead to complications if not treated properly. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, and treatment may range from observation to surgery, depending on the severity. Prompt medical attention is crucial to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term issues.
