A few weeks ago my 4.5 year old son used a grimy toilet in a train and, after finishing his pee, he forgot to hold up his penis and dragged it across the grimy rim. There were no facilities for wiping him so I could only wash him some hour later. No symptoms so far but I have heard of UTI's that are asymptomatic go undetected. Do I need to check this out?

My daughter at the age of 10 months had corrective surgery for a Grade 4 kidney reflux. At the time we were told that she would need no follow up unless she had a break through infection. Since she has turned 3 in March she has had 2 infections and her Ped feels she needs to see the specialist. I have set her appointment twice and hope to see him soon. But I am looking for information as to why this might be happening. Her right kidney was not growing and the left had substantial damage at the time of the surgery and her ped feels that the kidneys might be damaged to the point of possible failure. Can you give me any information? Thank you for your help Check Out the Answer

Question Category : UTI
My daughter is 4.5 next month. She has had recurring Bladder Infections & I believe this makes her 3rd UTI. Her Doctor’s office said the Doctor wanted to speak with me, but cannot see me until the weekend (in all a 7 day wait. This concerns me. All they would tell me is that he ordered a GU workup, which no-one seems to be able to explain to me just what this is. The main concern comes from family history. My Aunt, died when she was 20, the cause, kidney failure. Her parents were told time & time again, nothing was wrong, she was fine......then when she was hospitalized, she died, they took to long to do testing. My brother, now 24, had a surgery at age 3. It was a dilation of his urethra. I understand that she may not inherit these things, but am I being to pushy to ask that they run every test under the moon to make sure? Not that I want her to be put through these tests, but i would feel better knowing that she is healthy & there is no underlying illness that could possibly be fatal. Thank-you very much for your time! A Mother in need of advice. Check Out the Answer
