Question
My child has been suffering from left kidney dysplasia since childhood, with main symptoms including involuntary urination during the day and no bedwetting at night. We have sought medical advice at a local children’s hospital, but were told to wait until the child is older before addressing the issue. Recently, we had a CT scan at the hospital, and the results showed left kidney dysplasia.
Answer
Hello. Left kidney dysplasia with ureteral ectopic opening typically results in involuntary leakage of urine during normal urination. This condition requires surgical treatment. However, before surgery, further examinations should be conducted to rule out other possible conditions, such as recurrent kidney issues. It is recommended that you take your child to a large pediatric specialty hospital for treatment. Children have weaker physical resistance, making them more susceptible to urogenital system problems. Parents should not worry too much and should bring their child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
