WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">It is the case one or both of the eggs (testicle) are not present in the sac after the birthUndescended testicle is seen %26-30 of the premature birth and also %2.7-3.2 of the patients born on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>HOW IS UNDESCENDED TESTIS TREATED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Treatment is to descend the testicle into the scrotum and fix there.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Also, hernia is commonly seen with undescended testicle.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Hernia is treated during the same operation.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">To be able to provide this, hormonal and \/ or surgical treatments are applied as a result of the assessment made by the physicians\u2019 expertise in this subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHEN IS UNDESCENDED TESTIS TREATED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The distention of testicle to the sacs happen in the last 3 months in the mother\u2019s womb that may continue after the birth and in the first birthday the frequency of the undescended testicle lowers to the % 5.4 at the premature and to % 1 at the ones born on time.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">\u0130f it does not descend during that time it must be treated without losing time<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT PROBLEMS DO UNDESCENDED TESTIS CAUSE IF LEFT UNTREATED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">\u0130f the undescended testicle is not treated on time, it may cause serious issues such as infertility, testicle cancer and testicle distortion.<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT DOES PEADIATRIC INGUINAL HERNIA AND CORDON CYST FORMATION DEPEND?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Inguinal hernia does not occur by pressure as at adults.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">The babies extend from a glow finger kind of bulge from the membrane covering the abdomen while getting developed (process vaginitis).<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">If this opening stays open even after the birth, it causes swelling in the testicle area.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It is more stretched at men.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">If the relation between these residues with the abdomen is stretch, the abdominals liquid gets lower slowly and form a swelling full of liquid.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">This condition causes some diseases such as hydrocele and cordon cyst.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">If the relation of the related residue with the abdomen is large, or if the narrow passage gets larger in tine, intestines in the abdomen enter into this sac and causes inguinal hernia.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">As the reason of the inguinal hernia at children is a residue, there is no chance of getting healed on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>HOW IS PEADIATRIC INGUINAL HERNIA AND CORDON CYST FORMATION TREATED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The main purpose of the treatment of all diseases is to find and remove the sac created by vaginal process and to close its intrabadominal contact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT IS HYPOSPADIAS, HOW IS IT TREATED, IS CIRCUMCISION NECESSARY FOR THESE CHILDREN?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">It is the case when the urine hole is opened somewhere under the penis apart from the place where it is supposed to be or somewhere between the sac or sac and the groin.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It may not only affect the future psychological and sexual life of the child but it may also affect his fertility depending on the severity of the case.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It is required to do the treatment as early as possible and surgically.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It is very important not to circumcise these children in any way because the circumcision skin is used in the surgery of these children as the most ideal reparation material in the nature<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT IS EPISPADIAS, HOW IS IT TREATED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">It is the case when the urine hole is opened somewhere above the penis apart from the place where it is supposed to be.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Usually this anomaly is accompanied by the skeleton and muscle system anomalies and development anomalies of the intestine front wall Wall and abdomen frontal Wall ( extrophy vesicle).<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">The treatment is the early surgery<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT IS ENEURESIS NOCTURNA (BED WETTING AT NIGHT)?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">We can mention about the presence of this disease at the children who urinates in bed more than one or two times in a month after 5 years old age.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It is commonly believed that the diseases are related to the deepness of the sleep and bladder capacity.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Also psychological factors also have role in the apparition of the disease.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">It is seen more often at boys than the girls<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>HOW SHOULD ENEURESIS NOCTURNA (BED WETTING AT NIGHT) TREATMENT BE PLANNED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Actually for some cases with the age it is treated on its own.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">However it is wrong to let the child wait the end of something without knowing the final point of a condition as it will affect his mental condition .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Gece alt\u0131n\u0131 \u0131slatan \u00e7ocu\u011fu olan aileler e\u011fer \u00e7ocuklar\u0131 5 ya\u015f\u0131ndan

Exercises, Bladder training exercises<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">:\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">This method is quite successful with the children with smaller bladder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Sphincter training exercises<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">While urinating the children are asked to stop and redo the urination.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">So that sphincter muscles are aimed to be reinforced<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Conditioning (alarm device)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">When the child starts to urinate, the alarm starts ringing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Drug treatment<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Drug treatment s generally started with the children who did not responds the behavioral treatments.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Basic aims are two:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">1.\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Decrease the deepness of the sleep of the child<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">2.\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Decrease the urine production at night<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Drugs are recommended to be used maximum for 6 months.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">After stopping the drugs, enuresis may repeat.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Tricyclic, antidepressants, \u0130buprofen, diclofenac, anticholinergic, antidiuretic hormones may be used for the drug treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT IS VUR (VESICOURETERAL REFLUX)? WHICH PROBLEMS DOES IT CAUSE?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">During VUR, at each urination, one part of the urine in the bladder escapes to the upper system via urethra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The microorganisms in this undercharged urine reproduce and cause urinary infection.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Urine escaped to upper side with pressure, gets the tubes in the kidney wider ( pelvic laical system) and get then kidney parenchyma thinner and most importantly causes that infected urine to enter in this collective canals in the kidney( intra renal reflux) and scarification in the parenchyma<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">In this way, the most unwanted but expected result of the VUR:<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">chronic pyelonephritis appears.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">The most common reason of the chronic pyelonephritis at children group is VUR.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>HOW IS VUR DIAGNOSED?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">There is continuously repeating urinary infection history in the history (anamnesis).<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Any particularity is not detected in the physical examination.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Final diagnosis and grading of VUR is made, as stated above, placing catheter into the bladder and inserting colored substance into the bladder and the urine cystography (voiding cysturethrograph VCUG)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">After the diagnosis, especially bilateral reflux cases kidney structures and functions should be assessed.<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Glomerular filtration rate must be detected and the its function at that time must be known which is important for the follow up<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">DMSA kidney cystography is the best method showing the parenchyma scares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WHAT ARE TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES FOR VUR?<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Treatment form is determined according to the VUR grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">1) Medical (for grade I \u2013II reflux) \u2013 Antibiotherapy for urinary tract infection and then chemoprophylaxis with low dose trimethoprim-sulphometoxasole for long term.<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0.\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">However Ist and IInd level of refluxed that does not disappear in spite of this treatment may require a more advanced level of surgical intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">2) Surgical Intervention:<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">a) Minimally invasive:<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">suburreteral injection<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">b) Invasive:<\/span>\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Uretereoneocystostomy (re-arrangement of the oreteropelvic joint)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHEN SHOULD CIRCUMCISION BE APPLIED?
