A member asked:
I had surgery for my vesicoureteral reflux when i was 7. could i still be feeling the consequences of that now?

Needs re-evaluation!: Good morning, surgery for vesicoureteral reflux was done because you were born with a weak mechanism to prevent urine from flowing back into the kidneys and causing recurrent urinary tract infections. Usual expected result is a reduction in the number of infections of the urinary tract. Many years have passed, and your internal structures have undergone changes. You need a reassessment by a specia.
