If you or your child is diagnosed with a complex urogenital condition, it’s natural to have questions and concerns. These rare but serious conditions affect the development and function of the urinary and genital systems and often require specialized, multidisciplinary care. Below is an overview of some of these conditions and how they are managed.

Bladder Exstrophy

Bladder exstrophy occurs when the bladder develops outside the body, exposing its inner lining. This condition can also affect surrounding organs, including the urethra and pelvic bones.

Cloacal Malformation/Cloacal Exstrophy

These are complex birth defects where the urinary, genital, and intestinal tracts fail to separate correctly during fetal development. In cloacal exstrophy, parts of the bladder and intestines may be exposed outside the body.

Urogenital Sinus (Including Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)

Urogenital sinus is a condition where the urethra and vagina share a single opening instead of separate ones. This is sometimes seen in individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a condition that affects hormone production.

Eagle-Barrett Syndrome (Prune Belly Syndrome)

Eagle-Barrett Syndrome, also known as Prune Belly Syndrome, is characterized by underdeveloped abdominal muscles, undescended testicles (in males), and urinary tract abnormalities.

Why Specialized Care Is Essential?

Managing complex urogenital conditions often requires a team of specialists, including urologists, surgeons, endocrinologists, and psychologists. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
