Urology
Our Philosophy
The Center's philosophy is to steer the child with incontinence to non-invasive investigations when possible, while at the same time aggressively treat the condition to prevent future bladder damage. The majority of our patients have wetting problems without a neurologic or serious anatomic cause. While this type of incontinence is a common condition in children, many are left untreated. However, minor causes for the wetting may lead to more severe consequences and should be evaluated by a pediatric urologist. It is important for the child's self-esteem and social interactions to have the condition evaluated as early as possible. Left untreated, the cause of incontinence may also lead to permanent damage of the bladder or even the kidneys. If nothing else, it can also lead to lifelong problems with frequency and urgency, the latter sometimes seen in women who had been untreated as children.
