The symptoms can be rather subtle.
Poor urinalysis
Even a general urine test shows signs of inflammation in the body well. If the child is not sick with ARVI or another obvious disease, this may be a sign of a disease of the genitourinary system. It is important to ask your pediatrician's advice and get a referral to a specialist.
The disease may be accompanied by an increase in temperature. Even without a temperature, it is imperative to show the boy's urologist. A girl - if there is a temperature.
Changes to ultrasound
We are talking about the baby in the womb and the first days after birth. In the first week after birth, the baby needs to have an ultrasound scan to check if there are any pathologies.
If, as a result of the examination, non-standard changes are found, you need to show the child to a urologist.
On the other hand, don't worry right away. Some conditions go away on their own.Each baby needs a full-fledged individual consultation with a urologist, which will determine the tactics of treatment.
Changes in the external genital organs in boys
This may be the absence of a testicle, an enlarged or reduced scrotum. It is especially worthwhile to rush to a doctor's examination if the change appears abruptly.
Should also raise anxiety about redness and inflammation in the genital area if they are clearly not caused, for example, by a loosening of the diaper or prolonged contact with feces if the baby is not immediately changed diaper.
Urinary incontinence
In any case, this is a reason to see a urologist in order to exclude the physiological aspect and leave only the psychological one.
