Paediatric Urology Care in Kuala Lumpur — Compassionate Treatment for Children with Urinary or Genital Conditions

Children with urinary tract or genital conditions benefit from early diagnosis and age-appropriate care. Dr. Roger provides paediatric urology services in Kuala Lumpur for a range of concerns — including urinary tract infections, congenital anomalies, and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Treatments are tailored for infants, toddlers, and growing children, with a strong emphasis on safe, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.

Common Paediatric Urology Conditions Treated

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) — urine flowing backward into the kidneys
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) — a congenital obstruction in boys
Hydronephrosis — kidney swelling due to urine buildup
Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism)
Hypospadias — where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis
Phimosis or foreskin-related issues
Genital or kidney abnormalities found during prenatal or postnatal scans

Key Paediatric Urology Services Offered

Dr. Roger offers a range of diagnostic and treatment services for children with urological conditions — from congenital abnormalities like hypospadias and posterior urethral valves (PUV) to acquired issues such as recurrent urinary tract infections and undescended testes. Services are tailored for infants, toddlers, and growing children, with a focus on safe, minimally invasive approaches where possible.

Deflux® Injection for Reflux (VUR)

Minimally invasive treatment for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. A soft gel is injected to prevent urine backflow and lower the risk of kidney infections. Performed under general anaesthesia, usually with overnight monitoring.

MCUG (Micturating Cystourethrogram)

A special bladder imaging test that captures real-time urination to detect reflux and anatomical issues. Often used in children with recurrent UTIs or suspected VUR.

Ultrasound KUB

Kidney, ureter, and bladder ultrasound to assess for hydronephrosis, bladder volume, or kidney size changes. Commonly used as an initial screening tool in paediatric urinary tract conditions.

Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) Management

Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of PUV — a congenital obstruction affecting urination in boys. Managed with early intervention and long-term follow-up if needed.

Undescended Testes Evaluation

Monitoring and management of testicles that have not descended into the scrotum. Surgery (orchidopexy) may be recommended if not resolved by 6–12 months of age.

Hypospadias Assessment

Evaluation of hypospadias, where the urethral opening is mispositioned. Early assessment allows for timely referral and surgical planning.

Paediatric Circumcision

Circumcision performed for medical reasons such as phimosis, recurrent infections, or scarring. Conducted under anaesthesia in a safe, child-friendly setting.

Parent FAQs – Paediatric Urology in Kuala Lumpur

1. Is it normal for my child to have frequent urinary infections?

Occasional urinary tract infections (UTIs) can occur, but recurrent UTIs—especially those accompanied by fever—may indicate underlying conditions like vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) or bladder dysfunction. A proper evaluation by a paediatric urologist in Kuala Lumpur, including urine tests and imaging, is recommended.

2. What is VUR and does it need surgery?

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder toward the kidneys. While some mild cases may resolve with time, moderate to severe VUR may require surgical treatment, such as Deflux® injection, to prevent kidney infections and long-term kidney damage.

3. When should undescended testicles be treated?

If the testicle has not descended into the scrotum by 12 months of age, surgical correction (orchidopexy) is typically advised. Early treatment supports healthy development and reduces future risks to fertility and testicular health.

4. What is PUV and how serious is it?

Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are congenital blockages in the urethra that can impact bladder emptying and kidney function in boys. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic surgery, followed by long-term monitoring, help preserve urinary health.

5. Is circumcision medically necessary?

Circumcision is not always required. It may be recommended for specific medical reasons such as phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent infections, or scarring. When necessary, it is performed safely under anaesthesia in a controlled setting.

6. Will these tests or procedures be painful for my child?

Most paediatric urology procedures are non-invasive or minimally invasive. When surgery is needed—such as for hypospadias repair or VUR treatment—they are performed under anaesthesia with safety and comfort as top priorities.

7. What is hypospadias and when should it be corrected?

Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. Surgical repair is usually recommended between 6–18 months of age to restore normal function and appearance. Early referral to a paediatric urologist experienced in hypospadias repair helps ensure the best outcomes.
