Pediatric Bladder Problems

Pediatric bladder problems encompass a range of issues affecting children’s urinary function. Common problems include urinary incontinence (leaking urine), frequent urination, and bladder infections. These issues can stem from various causes, such as developmental delays, anxiety, or anatomical abnormalities. Symptoms may impact a child's social life and self-esteem. Diagnosis typically involves medical history, physical exams, and sometimes tests like ultrasounds. Treatment options vary from behavioral strategies, like bladder training, to medication or, in rare cases, surgery. Early identification and intervention are crucial to support a child’s comfort and overall well-being.
