Rasul underwent a neuro-urological examination

Rasul dreams of becoming a military man, just like his father. He is a real star at school, and he is always fun and interesting. Rasul has a lot of friends. Rasul also has spina bifida. It is a severe congenital disease of the spine. Because of it, Rasul cannot walk and has to use a wheelchair. When we see a child with spina bifida the first thing we notice is a problem with movement. But there's another thing that can be very harmful: Children with spina bifida have no bladder control, they just don't feel it's time to go to the bathroom. Meanwhile, the urine flows back into the kidneys, and the children develop urinary tract infections from mild cystitis to severe, with kidney damage - pyelonephritis. And these are problems which are not immediately visible, but which may lead to irreparable consequences: a person can live without legs, but not without kidneys. In outpatient clinics, pediatricians often don't know about the specifics of monitoring children with spina bifida, so they focus on standard examination protocols: blood and urine tests. This is not enough to assess the child's condition. In fact, parents learn about the fact that a child with spina bifida needs to undergo annual CUDI by a neuro-urologist from the staff of the Spina bifida Foundation. CUDI is a comprehensive urodynamic study that allows you to assess how disturbed the phase of urine accumulation is, how disturbed the phase of urine emptying is, whether you need to compensate with medication, whether you need to connect additional methods of urine diversion. This is a complete screening of the urinary system. It is very important for Rasul to have this screening! CUDI is not on the list of mandatory medical examinations. That is why the charity fund "Spina Bifida" is collecting funds to pay for CUDI for Rasul. Let's help the charming boy undergo this important examination!
