A Close Assessment Of Urination In Fetal Population


The fetal kidney begins to create urine in the fourth month of the pregnancy, and at that point, the fetal bladder empties it into the amniotic cavity in the womb. Without fetal urine, there would be considerably less amniotic fluid. In Ninety-three percent of newborns first voiding take place within the first 24 hours after birth.

Importance of Voiding After Birth

Ninety percent of the rest urinate during the second day of life. Those kids who still haven't voided after the second-not the first-day should be assessed. Your baby's first few squirts are normally small amounts of dark, murky urine. This "sludge" exhibition is the result of a high concentration of sodium urate crystals as well as certain proteins.

Time When Newborn Urinates

The typical newborn urinates 16 to 24 times per day. Each voiding produces 15 to 25 milliliters, and the total amount of urine for the day is 45 to 70 percent of the baby's total fluid intake for the day. During his first six months of life, your infant will continue to void as often as he did the first days, but he'll increase the volume of the voiding from 20 to 35 milliliters.

Important Test Conducted For Child Urine BRICK-DUST DIAPER STAIN (Urate Crystals):

Urine loaded with sodium urate-a compound normally excreted by infants-takes on a strange color. Depending on the urine's freshness and concentration, the color will be a brown-red or an orange-red. If you've just joined the scores of parents who have been scared out of their wits by their baby's "blood-stained" diapers, stay calm for a few moments. Don't wrestle the diaper to the ground and rip it into shreds. Put it in a brown, unmarked bag and bring it and your baby to your pediatrician. Using simple methods, the doctor can test the "damned spot" for its hemoglobin content.

If it flunks the test, it isn't blood; it's just ordinary brick-dust diaper stain. If, while you're sitting in the waiting room, the infamous diaper dries out, you'll see that the red spot has become a powdery collection of easily scraped-off "brick dust." You can laugh all the way home. If, for some reason, your baby's reddish diaper has been destroyed, get a fresh urine sample from the baby and bring that to the doctor so she can examine it under the microscope. She'll quickly see if any red blood cells are present, or if, as is most likely the case, the red color came from/irate crystals. In this case, nothing has to be done. With your nerves being the exception, no harm has been done.

Comparing The Bladder Of Newborns And Adult

 The newborn's bladder is very different from adults. The adult bladder is dome-shaped and, unless it's very full, it stays within the pelvis. Your baby's bladder is spindle-shaped and extends up into the abdominal cavity, even when it's absolutely empty. A baby's bladder also functions separately. The adult bladder empties when told to, leaving behind just enough urine to dampen its inside lining. No one can tell the newborn bladder when to empty, and when it does, enough is left behind to dampen anyone daringly standing directly in the way. Ask any pediatrician if this isn't so.

Learning The Role Of Kidney & Kidney Stone Treatment

Image
Kidneys serve vital roles in the proper functioning of the body. When the body is affected with dehydration, the movement of fluids through kidneys slows down, due to which minerals and salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, stick together leading to their crystallization in the kidneys. These small build-ups of crystallized minerals and salts form kidney stones. They can affect any part of the body. Naturally, the kidney stones pass off from the body causing any major symptoms. But due to their enlargement, passing them off can be a painful affair. Treatment Of Kidney Stones In the initial case of kidney stones formation, simple home remedies can be efficient to treat the cause. Plus, abstaining from certain foods such as spinach, almonds, rhubarb, okra, beets, junk fried items (potato chips and fries), nut butter, and bran flakes is significant to decrease any negative impact on the body. Dehydration is a major risk factor for causing kidney stones. An intake of eight glasses of

Get An In Depth Understanding About Pelvic Prolapses

Image
Out of all of these organs, prolapse of the bladder is the commonest occurrence. Pelvic organ prolapses (POP) has a higher incidence among older women and women with a family history of the same. Typically, the muscles and ligaments of your pelvic floor hold all of these organs in place. However, any circumstances that may weaken these muscles such as excessive straining at the time of childbirth are likely to result in less support and subsequent prolapse of a pelvic organ. This could happen with a number of organs within your pelvis including: Bladder Uterus Rectum Small bowel Urethra Vagina What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse Several conditions may cause a pelvic organ to prolapse along the vaginal walls. However, most of these conditions are linked with weak or over-stretched pelvic floor muscles. Here's a list of the conditions that could possibly lead to a POP. A big baby and/or a long and difficult labor causing excessive strain of the pelvic muscles during c

Identifying & Treating Phimosis in Kids

Image
Phimosis is the foreskin of a boy which has a narrow end and it leads to trouble in being pulled down. There are mainly two types of phimosis in the first type, the foreskin gets elastic so that it can be stretched wider at least to some extent while in the second type, there could be chances of scars or indurations around glans which makes it totally rigid.  There are situations when phimosis is partial so that the foreskin can be pulled down, but cannot retract. And when the foreskin is trapped in a retracted position, it is called paraphimosis. This condition should be regarded as an emergency since the tight foreskin can cut off the blood supply to the glans. Detection of Phimosis: A kid usually has a narrow foreskin in his earliest years and the foreskin also is fixed to the penis head. Gradually the glans penis widens and the foreskin gets loose so that it can be pulled down. Usually, it is possible to remove the foreskin when the boy is 4-7 years old, and
