Hauwa A., 3

3 year old Hauwa is the first child in a family of 3. Father is a labourer who earns about 10000 naira monthly. she was diagnosed with urinary retention due to bladders stones at the hospital after one week of lower abdominal pain and difficulty in urinating. She is currently receiving medical care and requires treatment to remove the stone and restore normal urinary function.

The child was admitted for medical evaluation and management of urinary retention caused by bladder stones. Treatment focused on relieving the urinary obstruction, controlling pain, preventing infection, and removing the bladder stone. Following the surgical procedure, the child's condition improved significantly, with relief of symptoms and restoration of normal urinary function. The outcome was successful, and the child is recovering well with a reduced risk of further urinary tract complications.

Based on the clinical findings and diagnosis, Hauwa Ali Mohammed is suffering from urinary retention secondary to bladder calculi (bladder stones). The condition has caused obstruction to the normal flow of urine, resulting in severe pain and difficulty with urination. She requires prompt and appropriate medical management, including possible surgical intervention, to relieve the obstruction and remove the bladder stone. The prognosis is good if timely treatment is provided and follow-up care is maintained. Following successful treatment, the child is expected to recover fully and regain normal urinary function. However, if left untreated, the condition may lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder damage, kidney complications, and worsening urinary obstruction.
