My 3 year old might have Bladder Diverticulum?

Question

First of all, I want to thank this site alot. I posted a question about my son about 2 weeks ago to see if it was normal for a child his age to pee about 2-3 times a day. I went to the doctor Wed. and they are checking him for either an underdeveloped kidney or Bladder Diverticulum. He goes on Sunday for his sonogram and Im just wondering if anyone has useful information about this or a really good site that can help me understand this? Thanks so much for any help!

Answer 1

Alot of the sites are heavily medical and difficult to understand, and I am a nurse.

It seems likely that there is a pathophysiological problem associated with urology.  No matter what the outcome of the scan shows I recommend follow up with a pediatric urologist.

The bladder diverticulum can be congenital (born with it) or it can be a result from a urinary tract infection.  It usually affects males, and is rare.  Its not much but good luck
