My three year old son has vesicoureteral reflux. how is this treated in children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different treatments: Good morning, treatment of vesicoureteral reflux at three years of age for a boy varies depending on the degree of reflux. Initial treatment is addressed at preventing infections by antibiotic treatment. Surgery for vesicoureteral reflux is considered, because you are born with a weak mechanism to prevent urine from flowing back into the kidneys and causing recurrent urinary tract infections.
