Spina bifida is a congenital condition that affects the development of the baby’s spinal cord, spine, and developing brain. This condition can lead to a neurogenic bladder, resulting in decreased control over urine. Treating the neurogenic bladder can help alleviate this issue, allowing the bladder to relax and expand its capacity for urine storage. This, in turn, helps protect the kidneys from potential harm.

What does a urologist do?
A urologist is a medical professional who specializes in dealing with the urinary tract and male reproductive system disorders.
First urologists diagnose issues based on symptoms, physical examinations, and various tests such as blood tests, urine tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies.
Then they prescribe treatment for a range of conditions, from common urinary tract infections to complex cancers affecting the kidneys, bladder, or prostate.
When necessary, urologists perform surgeries to remove blockages, anatomical defects, and tumors.
Urologists often manage chronic conditions as well like persistent kidney stones, incontinence, or in cases of male infertility.
Some urologists may specialize in areas like female urology, pediatric urology, or urologic oncology, focusing on specific patient groups or diseases.

Common symptoms of urologic disorders include:
Back and groin pain.
Blood in the urine.
Frequent urination especially at night is the most common alarming sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Painful urination: Often associated with infection but can also indicate bladder stones.
Uncontrolled urine leakage in both children and female adults.

Urology problems in men can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Prostate enlargement: Is often caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, in men over 50 years old.
Urinary tract infection: caused by bacterial infection, often after surgeries or because of weak immunity, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, diabetes, or bad hygienic habits.

Urine tests: To check for infection, blood, or other abnormalities in the urine.
Blood tests: To assess kidney function and any other related problems.
Imaging tests: Such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs with or without contrast substances to visualize the urinary tract and detect any structural abnormalities or tumors.
Cystoscopy: A procedure using a camera to look inside the bladder and urethra.
Biopsy: Taking a small tissue sample for examination, exclude cancers, and detect the root cause of the problem.
These diagnostic tools help urologists to deal with various urological conditions.
