Bladder clinic for children

The Bladder Clinic for Children at Jaslok Hospital is a specialised clinic within the hospital that is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical care for children with bladder problems. The team of highly skilled paediatric urologists, nephrologists, neurologists and nurses at the clinic are committed to improving the quality of life for children suffering from various bladder conditions, including urinary incontinence, bladder infections, bladder stones, and more.

One of the key components of the Bladder Clinic for Children is the diagnostic process. When a child comes to the clinic with bladder-related symptoms, the healthcare professionals will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the nature and extent of their condition. This may involve taking a medical history, conducting physical tests, and using imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI.

Once the diagnosis is made, the healthcare professionals will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to the child's specific needs. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, improve bladder function, and prevent complications.

Treatment for bladder-related conditions in children may involve a combination of medications, behavioural modifications, and other interventions. Medications may include antibiotics or other medications to manage symptoms such as urgency or frequency. Behavioural modifications may include bladder training, fluid management, or other techniques designed to improve bladder function.

In addition to treating children with bladder-related conditions, the clinic also focuses on education and support. Healthcare professionals provide education to parents and children about the condition, treatment options, and strategies for managing symptoms. They also provide support to families, helping them navigate the challenges of managing a chronic condition.

Another important feature of the Bladder Clinic for Children at Jaslok Hospital is research. Healthcare professionals are actively involved in research to improve understanding of bladder-related conditions in children and develop new treatments. This research is critical to improving outcomes for children with these conditions.

The team works closely with other departments and specialists within the hospital to ensure that all patients receive the most comprehensive care possible. They collaborate with paediatric nephrologists, gastroenterologists, and other healthcare professionals to address any underlying conditions that may be contributing to a child's bladder problems.

At the Bladder Clinic for Children, we understand the unique challenges that bladder problems can pose for children and their families. The clinic is dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to help the patients and their families navigate these challenges and achieve the best possible outcomes.
