🧒💧 Healthy Bladder, Happy Child!

Uroflowmetry is a quick, painless test that helps track your child’s urinary health by showing:
• 🧪 How much urine they pass
• 🏃‍♂️ How fast it flows
• ✅ How well the bladder empties

How it works (for potty-trained kids only 🌟):
1️⃣ Sonar check of the bladder before peeing
2️⃣ Child voids into the uroflow meter
3️⃣ Flow is recorded and measured
4️⃣ Sonar check after voiding
5️⃣ Doctor explains the results and provides guidance

No needles, no discomfort 🚽. This test provides valuable insights for conditions like bedwetting, frequent infections, or difficulty starting or stopping urine

💡 With World Kidney Day approaching, we want to take the opportunity to educate parents about the importance of urinary health and how a simple check like uroflowmetry can help.

Small changes in hydration and toileting habits can make a big difference in bladder health.

Today is World Leprosy Day 📆

Leprosy can be treated. It spreads mainly through prolonged close contact with untreated cases and not through casual touch or sharing meals.

Knowing the symptoms and seeking care early helps reduce complications and supports overall health. Education and awareness are important to break stigma and encourage understanding. 🧠
