Dr. Joseph Mele answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

That's good: Vesicoureteral refulx is flow from the bladder backwards into the tubes connecting the kidneys. Often, this is checked when voiding (peeing) to be certain that the contraction of the bladder is not forcing urine up into the kidneys. When refulx happens, kidney infections and scarring are more likely.

Dr Kandarpa and another doctor agreed
