Question 1

how can children get utis?

Accepted Answer

UTI's in kids: Children do not get urinary tract infections for most of the same reasons that adults do.  First and foremost, anatomical issues such as vesicoureteral reflux, posterior urethral valves and others issues must be investigated.  Otherwise, UTI's in children are often due to poor hygiene/wiping, masturbation, infrequent diaper or pull up changes, or chronic urethral irritation.
