I’m not sure how to ask this, but my daughter is 2 ½ years old and she has been getting UTI’s since she was 6mos. And we recently had VCUG and a NVCUG. The VCUG showed that she had reflux of a grade 2 and the NVCUG confirmed the results, she also has scarring on her right kidney and is smaller than the left so we have her on an antibiotic for now but the Urologist is suggesting surgery. Is this in your opinion the only way to resolve her problem or will the antibiotic over time be something we should consider, please help.

the antibiotics will treat the infections, for a while. But that doesn't fix the root problem. I think your urologist is right, it is a physical problem, and should be repaired.

I wish I had an answer, just wanted to share. My daughter 3 1/2 year old daughter had a VCUG on Monday and her results came back no reflux, but one small, scarred kidney and some sort of cystoid or something in her bladder. Good luck... my daughter is just fine except for a little pain when she urinates. Who knew it could be something so scary!
