Children's Urology
Common Paediatric Urology Conditions
Families from across Kanpur and surrounding districts consult Dr. Kumar for specialist child urology care.
Undescended Testis
An undescended testis has not moved down into the scrotum before birth. If it does not descend on its own, orchidopexy brings it into the correct position.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
VUR means urine flows backward from the bladder towards the kidneys. It can cause repeated urinary infections and kidney damage if untreated.
Congenital Urinary Tract Obstruction
Some children are born with a blockage in the urinary tract, such as at the junction between the kidney and ureter. Surgery may protect kidney function.
Repeated Urinary Infections
Repeated urinary infections may indicate reflux, obstruction or anatomical differences and should be evaluated to protect the kidneys.
Kidney Swelling on Scan
Swelling detected on antenatal or later ultrasound may need specialist monitoring or treatment depending on the cause and severity.
Signs to Watch
Signs That a Child May Need a Urology Consultation
- Repeated urinary tract infections
- A testis that cannot be felt in the scrotum
- An abnormal position of the urethral opening noticed at birth
- Swelling in the groin or scrotum
- Difficulty passing urine or an abnormal urine stream
- A swollen kidney detected on an antenatal or later ultrasound
If you notice any of these, a consultation can clarify whether treatment is needed and when. Call +91-9235652646 to arrange an appointment.
Treatment Timing
Why Timing Matters in Paediatric Urology
Many childhood urological conditions have an ideal window for treatment. Correcting an undescended testis or relieving an obstruction at the right age protects fertility and kidney function in ways that delayed treatment cannot always recover.
At the same time, some conditions are best monitored and may resolve on their own. Dr. Kumar guides parents on the right timing for their child, avoiding both unnecessary surgery and harmful delay.
A Reassuring Approach for Families
A visit to a urologist can be stressful for both child and parent. Dr. Kumar takes time to explain the condition, the options and what to expect in language families can understand.
Surgery is recommended only when it genuinely benefits the child.

Frequently Asked Questions - Paediatric Urology in Kanpur
At what age should an undescended testis be treated?
An undescended testis that does not descend on its own is usually corrected with surgery in infancy, often around 6 to 18 months of age. Treating it at the right age helps protect future fertility and reduces other long-term risks.
Is hypospadias surgery safe for young children?
Yes. Hypospadias repair is a well-established surgery, typically performed in early childhood. It corrects the position of the urethral opening and restores normal function and appearance.
Can vesicoureteral reflux resolve without surgery?
Often, yes. Mild to moderate VUR frequently improves as a child grows and may be managed with monitoring and sometimes preventive medication. Surgery is reserved for more severe cases or persistent infections and kidney effects.
What causes repeated urinary infections in children?
Repeated urinary infections in children can be caused by vesicoureteral reflux, urinary tract obstruction or anatomical differences. They should not be ignored because untreated infections can affect the kidneys.
Does my child need to see a specialist or will a paediatrician suffice?
A paediatrician can manage many general concerns, but conditions such as hypospadias, undescended testis, reflux and urinary obstruction need a urologist for accurate assessment and surgical treatment.
