Question
The issue of pediatric urethral rupture is quite Annoying: My son had pediatric urethral rupture surgery at the age of 3.5. Now, at 6, he urinates 1-2 times every night, but after falling and injuring his hip the day before, he is bedwetting 5-6 times every night. How should I deal with my child’s urethral rupture?
Answer
During the abdominal embryonic development process, the development and fusion of the male lower body urogenital groove are influenced by the pituitary gland and androgens. If there is a lack of androgens, the fusion of the lateral folds of the urogenital groove is obstructed, leading to a defect in the ventral wall of the urethra. The urethra normally opens behind the normal urethral opening on the ventral side of the male lower body, forming a urethral rupture. Pediatric urethral rupture can be treated surgically at local general hospitals with urology departments, and recovery is usually good after treatment.
