Priya Brown is a cheerful 7-year-old...
Priya Brown is a cheerful 7-year-old who loves ballet and swimming. She lives with her parents and younger brother. For over a year, Priya has been having frequent, painful urinary tract infections (UTIs) and daytime wetting accidents, which have started to affect her confidence at school and make her reluctant to go to sleepovers. Her pediatrician referred her to a pediatric urologist after multiple rounds of antibiotics failed to solve the problem. The urologist explained that Paediatric Urodynamics would help them see how Priya's bladder was filling and emptying to find the cause. On the day of the test, the nurse and doctor were very kind, using dolls to explain the small catheters and sensors. Priya was nervous but brave. The test showed her bladder was overactive and not emptying completely. Based on the results, Priya started a new plan combining a timed voiding schedule, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and a different medication. After a few months, her UTIs stopped and the wetting accidents became very rare. Emotionally, Priya went from feeling embarrassed and 'different' from her friends to feeling relieved and in control. She's now excitedly preparing for her first overnight camp.
