PU Valves
PU valves, or posterior urethral valves, are obstructing leaflets in the male urethra that interfere with bladder emptying and can affect kidneys.
At Urocare Urology Superspeciality Clinic, Dr. Srikanth provides focused care for PU Valves with a patient-specific plan. The aim is to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and choose the safest effective treatment for lasting improvement.
Key Concerns in PU Valves
- Children may have poor urinary stream, dribbling, urinary infection, abdominal swelling, or scan findings suggesting obstruction.
- Children need age-appropriate assessment that protects growth, kidney function, and future development.
- Many paediatric conditions are congenital, while others present with pain, swelling, or infection later.
- Early diagnosis can reduce the risk of long-term urinary or reproductive complications.
- Parents benefit from a clear explanation of what needs monitoring and what needs treatment.
Treatment planning is guided by symptoms, examination findings, medical history, age, associated conditions, and the need to preserve long-term urinary and overall health.
Evaluation and Treatment for PU Valves
- Diagnosis may involve ultrasound, voiding studies, kidney function tests, and endoscopic confirmation.
- Management focuses on relieving obstruction, protecting bladder and kidney function, and planning long-term follow-up.
- Care is planned with attention to age, symptoms, scan findings, and the least invasive effective option.
- Surgery is advised only when the condition clearly warrants correction or protection of function.
- Follow-up is especially important in children with congenital or recurrent urinary problems.
