Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Urological Problems

Determining the right treatment for your child depends on the right diagnosis. At Blue Ridge Urology, we utilize a wide range of advanced testing modalities and technology to attain quick and accurate results. The data obtained will help guide the proper treatment for your child’s unique urinary tract condition. We strive to make our office environment as comfortable as possible for children so that they feel safe and cared for during testing and procedures. When possible, we utilize the least invasive testing to determine the root cause of urinary problems. Some tests used to diagnose urinary tract conditions include:

X-ray
Uroflow tests
Ultrasound of urethra, bladder, ureter and kidney
Urodynamics testing

Sometimes, behavior modifications and simple lifestyle changes can dramatically improve your child’s condition. Limiting beverages before bedtime to reduce nighttime bedwetting is an example of behavior modifications that can improve some urinary tract conditions.

If it is determined that surgery is required to treat the urological condition, we will partner with you in determining the best surgical approach for your child. We offer minimally invasive surgical procedures using the latest technology for the many benefits it provides such as:

Reduced scarring
Less pain
Faster recovery
Minimal disruption to normal childhood activities

At Blue Ridge Urology, we offer a wide range of testing and treatment options to accurately diagnose your child’s urinary tract condition. We look forward to working with you and your child to resolve and restore the health and function of their urinary tract system.
