- Epispadias – Urethral opening is on the upper side of the penis.
- Bladder Exstrophy – The bladder is exposed outside the abdominal wall.
- Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) – Urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters/kidneys.
- Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJO) – Blockage at the junction where the ureter meets the kidney.
- Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) – Congenital obstruction in male infants causing urinary retention and kidney damage.
2. Obstructive Uropathy:
- Ureterovesical junction obstruction
- Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK)
- Megaureter
3. Infections & Inflammatory Conditions:
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Pyelonephritis (kidney infection)
4. Functional Disorders:
- Neurogenic Bladder – Dysfunction due to spinal cord or neurological conditions.
- Enuresis (Bedwetting) – Persistent nighttime urinary incontinence.
- Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction (BBD) – Combined urinary and fecal incontinence issues.
5. Tumors & Cysts:
