Bedwetting beyond 5? KIMS Cuddles Launches Specialized Clinic for Children
Hyderabad: Medical experts have stressed the urgent need to address pediatric nephrology and urology issues promptly, urging parents to seek medical attention at the first signs of such conditions to ensure timely treatment and prevent complications.
According to a UNI report, to tackle bedwetting problems in children, KIMS Cuddles has introduced a special Bedwetting Clinic, operating every Tuesday. Many children continue to wet the bed beyond the age of five but do not disclose it due to embarrassment, leading to persistent issues. The clinic aims to provide effective solutions and eliminate the social stigma surrounding the condition.
As part of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program, a Nephro-Uro Summit 2025 was organized under the leadership of Dr Mounika Motamarri, Consultant Pediatric Nephrologist on Sunday. The event saw the participation of over 250 pediatric nephrology and urology specialists from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.
Experts highlighted that even young children can develop kidney stones, and symptoms such as persistent pain or blood in the urine should never be ignored. Some children may exhibit reddish-colored urine, requiring specific diagnostic tests.
Additionally, doctors emphasized that children with protein levels exceeding 2 mg per kg of body weight should be closely monitored. Pediatric hypertension, if untreated, can lead to kidney damage, and some cases may require surgical intervention for narrow urinary tracts, reports UNI.
Dr Mounika Motamarri, the event’s organizing Secretary, announced that the Bedwetting Clinic would be available at KIMS Secunderabad and Kondapur Hospitals every Tuesday. Several renowned doctors, including Dr Babu S. Madarkar, Dr Yog Nagendar, Dr Parag Dekate, D Aparna C., Dr VS Reddy, and Dr Nitin Chawla, attended the summit to discuss advancements in pediatric nephrology and urology care.
