Warning Signs in Your Child May Need a Pediatric Urologist
With urological conditions, identifying problems early often leads to simpler, more effective treatment.
Watch out for these signs in your child:
- Pain or a burning sensation while passing urine is often a common indicator of a urinary tract infection
- Frequent urination may point to bladder control issues or an active infection
- Bedwetting past the expected age, or daytime accidents, could signal a bladder or neurological concern
- Urine that smells foul or appears cloudy is usually a sign of an infection that needs prompt assessment
- Unexplained swelling in the abdomen or genital area can be linked to conditions like hernia, hydrocele, or kidney problems
- Fever without an obvious cause in younger children can sometimes be the only visible sign of a urinary infection
- A weak urine stream or visible straining may indicate a structural issue requiring a reconstructive urology assessment
These symptoms don’t always mean something serious, but they do deserve a proper evaluation. Where treatment is needed, Dr. Gursev Sandlas prioritises the least invasive path forward, including minimally invasive robotic surgery designed to be easier on children, with smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker return to normal life.

Dear Dr Gursev Sandlas, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional care during the first stage of my son’s Hypospadias operation. From the moment we met you, your calm and composed demeanour while speaking with us as patients’ family members gave us very positive vibes. We had consulted multiple doctors before, but as parents, it was challenging to build trust and finalise a surgeon for our child’s operation. You instilled that confidence in us, allowing us to move forward without hesitation. You explained everything in a positive, reassuring manner, and every detail you shared before the surgery has come true post-operation. We were initially worried about your travel schedule—being out of India for 20 days every month—and how we would reach you if something arose. However, you assured us there would be no issues before or after the surgery, and you made yourself reachable anytime via calls and messages through your assistant, Imran. Imran was outstanding in resolving all our queries before and after the operation. He stayed in constant touch, responding within an hour, and for urgent concerns, he addressed them in just 10-15 minutes by coordinating directly with you. Thank you once again, Dr Sandlas, for completing the first stage of my son’s operation without any complications, by God’s grace.
