Ambiguous Genitalia TreatmentTreatment of ambiguous genitalia, which is a condition where a baby's genitalia may not be well formed, or the baby may have general characteristics of both sexes. Chordee TreatmentChordee is a condition in which the head of the penis curves downward (that is, in a ventral direction) or upward, at the junction of the head and shaft of the penis. The principal treatment of chordee is surgery in infancy. Hydrocele TreatmentAn accumulation of fluid in any sac-like cavity or duct - specifically in the tunica vaginalis testis or along the spermatic cord. The condition is caused by inflammation of the epididymis or testis or by lymphatic or venous obstruction of the cord. The fluid accumulation will often go away on its own, but when intervention is needed, surgical removal is the most effective form of treatment. Hydronephrosis TreatmentDistention and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces, usually caused by obstruction of the free flow of urine from the kidney, leading to progressive atrophy of the kidney. Treatment of hydronephrosis focuses upon the removal of the obstruction and drainage of the urine that has accumulated behind the obstruction. Therefore, the specific treatment depends upon where the obstruction lies. Surgery is not always needed. Hypospadias TreatmentTreatment of hypospadias, a congenital malformation in which the urethra opens at the base or beneath the penis. Testicular Torsion TreatmentIn testicular torsion the spermatic cord that provides the blood supply to a testicle is twisted, cutting off the blood supply. Prolonged testicular torsion will result in the death of the testicle and surrounding tissues. Treatment is a simple and minimally invasive surgical procedure. Undescended Testis TreatmentAlso known as cryptoorchidism. A term used to describe testis, which, at birth has not descended into the scrotum as normal. Treatment may include surgery or hormone therapy. Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ) TreatmentA partial or total blockage of the flow of urine that occurs where the ureter enters the kidney. Some conditions which can cause such blockage include inflammation, polyp, tumor, stones. Treatment options vary depending on which condition is present. Urinary Infections TreatmentTreatment of infections of the urinary system typically includes antibiotics. Varicocele TreatmentVaricose veins in the scrotum. The resulting swollen vessels surrounding the testicles create a pool of stagnant blood, which elevates the scrotal temperature. A major cause of male infertility. Treatment options include embolization (insertion of a tiny metal coil to block the flow of blood to the vein) or surgery.
