Posterior Urethral Valve
Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) – Comprehensive Care & Treatment
Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) is a rare but serious condition seen in male infants where extra flaps of tissue block the urine flow from the bladder. Early diagnosis and expert treatment are crucial to protect kidney and bladder function.
At our centre, we provide advanced evaluation, timely intervention, and long-term follow-up to ensure the best outcomes for children with PUV.
What is Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV)?
PUV is a congenital obstruction in the urethra that increases pressure on the bladder and kidneys. It can lead to:
- Difficulty passing urine
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

- Growth problems if untreated
