Children have their own urological concerns. The two we see most often are nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin). Both are common, rarely serious, and respond well to the right approach.
If your child still wets the bed past age 5–6, or has redness, swelling or pain of the foreskin and glans, these are common and treatable childhood urology problems. SU Urology evaluates children gently, with non-invasive testing first and clear guidance for parents.

Our priority with children is a calm, non-frightening visit: history, a gentle exam and non-invasive tests before anything else, with explanations directed to both child and parent.
SU Urology runs the full work-up on site — no outside referral for imaging. Most patients get answers the same day.
We talk with the child and parent and perform a careful, reassuring physical examination.
A simple urine test screens for infection and sugar — non-invasive and quick.
When needed, painless ultrasound and flow testing assess bladder emptying and function.
A short bladder diary helps separate maturation delay from other causes.
A structured plan: fluid timing, constipation management, motivational measures, bedwetting alarms and, when appropriate, short-term medication.
Hygiene guidance, topical or oral treatment for infection, and advice on gentle foreskin care; circumcision only if truly indicated.
Clear, written instructions so families can manage care confidently at home between visits.
Anatomical problems or recurrent infections needing imaging or surgery are referred to pediatric specialists with records in English.
Children are seen with patience and without unnecessary invasive testing. Dr. Kim Jeong-man is a member of the Korean Society of Pediatric Urology, and parents receive clear English explanations of what is happening and what to do at home — which matters when a family is far from their usual doctor.
Occasional bedwetting is normal up to about age 5–6. Beyond that, or if a previously dry child starts again, an evaluation is reasonable and usually reassuring.
Usually not. Most balanoposthitis settles with hygiene and treatment of infection. Circumcision is considered only for specific, repeated problems.
The core tests — urinalysis, ultrasound and uroflowmetry — are non-invasive and painless. We avoid anything frightening unless genuinely necessary.
Yes. We provide English-speaking support so parents fully understand the plan.
