Understanding Cloacal Anomalies: Causes & Care 

Cloacal anomalies are rare conditions that affect baby girls at birth, where the rectum, vagina, and urethra come together into one opening instead of forming separate ones. This can cause issues with going to the bathroom and may affect future reproductive health. At CHOC, our compassionate pediatric urology team helps families understand this condition and create a treatment plan that focuses on your child’s health and well-being. We’re here to answer your questions and support your family every step of the way.
