Consultation preparation
A short checklist to organize your reports and questions.
ÖNEN / FAMILY PREPARATION CHECKLIST
First consultation preparation checklist
This preparation checklist is a blank template; you can write your notes on the printout.
Gather the reports you have.
Prepare previous assessments, test and imaging reports, and the images themselves if available, to present during the consultation.
Think about what you would like to discuss during your consultation.
You can write down your questions and the observations you wish to share.
Prepare a list of medications used.
Bring the names of regularly used medications and details of current use to share with the physician.
Gather information from previous consultations.
Bring previous physician assessments and information about procedures or operations to the consultation, if available.
Ask the clinic whether any special preparation is needed.
Obtain individualized instructions about procedure preparation and medication use from the clinic; this list is general preparation support.
What I would like to ask during the consultation
General preparation support; contact the clinic for individualized advice. The explanatory text is awaiting physician review.
The fillable diary is based on the supplied blank Önen Bladder–Bowel Dysfunction Diary form. The preparation checklist is an original adaptation inspired by blank clinical follow-up cards in the archive.
Digital diary adapted: 17 October 2026. The general preparation links below were last checked on 16 October 2026.
A small question can be a good starting point for understanding a topic. A look at 13 subjects families ask about, from voiding to development.
Pending physician review. These educational notes, adapted with supporting sources, are not individualized recommendations for diagnosis, tests or treatment.
Voiding and bowel
Habits and symptoms assessed together.
01Why are voiding habits important?
Voiding problems, such as postponing urination or not emptying the bladder completely, may accompany urinary tract infections in some children. The cause of symptoms is assessed without attributing it solely to habits.
02Could the infection be associated with another condition?
In recurrent or febrile urinary tract infections, voiding and bowel problems and urinary tract anatomy are important in assessment. The need for tests varies with the infection characteristics, the child's age and previous findings.
Bowel and bladder functions are interconnected. Constipation may accompany urinary incontinence and urinary symptoms in some children; both systems are considered together during assessment.
Introductory notes for understanding dilation, stones and reflux.
04What does kidney dilation mean?
The degree and cause of dilation seen on ultrasound are important. Some cases may improve during follow-up; others may be associated with obstruction or reflux. Follow-up and additional tests are planned according to this distinction.
05Which symptoms are important when a stone is present?
Kidney and urinary tract stones may cause pain, blood in the urine or problems with urine flow. Fever, severe pain or inability to pass urine requires prompt medical assessment.
06Does reflux follow the same course in every child?
In vesicoureteral reflux, urine may flow back from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. Follow-up is individualized by considering reflux grade, infections, kidney findings and bladder–bowel function together.
07Why is timing discussed for an undescended testis?
A testis absent from the scrotum requires early physician assessment. The distinction between an undescended and a retractile testis, and the timing of follow-up or treatment, are based on examination findings.
08Is the same plan used for every case of hypospadias?
The location of the urinary opening, curvature and voiding function affect the assessment. The need for surgery, the method and potential risks are discussed for the individual child; no single number of operations or success rate applies to every case.
09How is a difference in genital development approached?
A difference in genital appearance alone does not establish a diagnosis. If a newborn's genital appearance is ambiguous, urgent medical assessment is needed because of certain hormonal conditions. This does not mean that urgent surgery to alter appearance is required. Investigations and decisions are approached in a child- and family-centered way, with contributions from pediatric endocrinology, pediatric urology and other relevant specialties.
Some dilation of the kidneys and urinary tract can be detected during pregnancy. The course of the findings and associated conditions help plan prenatal counseling and postnatal assessment.
Ultrasound provides information about the structure of the kidneys and bladder without using ionizing radiation. However, it does not answer every clinical question on its own; the need for additional investigations is determined by the findings.
MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images, while CT uses X-rays. The test needed is assessed according to factors such as the information expected, radiation and the child's ability to remain still.
13Why might a nuclear scan or a voiding cystourethrogram be requested?
Renal scintigraphy can provide information about function and, in some circumstances, tissue involvement; voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) can address questions such as urine reflux. These tests are not performed in the same way for everyone; the reason is explained for the individual child.

FOR FAMILIES / BASIC TERMS
The same language let us understand together.
Six basic terms you may encounter in consultations and reports. This glossary does not interpret your report.
Kidney
An organ that filters the blood, helping remove waste products and excess fluid through urine.
Ureter
The tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder. It is a different structure from the urethra.
Bladder
The muscular organ in which urine is stored before leaving the body; the urinary bladder.
Urethra
The tube through which urine passes from the bladder out of the body.
Ultrasound
An examination that uses sound waves to show organ structures. It does not use ionizing radiation.
Renal scintigraphy
A general term for examinations that provide information about kidney function using a radioactive tracer and a special camera.
The content is for general educational purposes. The review status of archive records and referenced editorial explanations is stated separately; personal diagnosis and treatment require a physician's assessment.
