I just stumbled upon your blog and happ...Hi there, <br />I just stumbled upon your blog and happen to read this post regarding your daughters reflux. I am an adult now but had the same issues as a child. I was diagnosed at 2 months old. I had similar testing and three surgeries to correct the issue (I also had duplicated ureters). I just wanted to assure you that I think your daughter will be fine in regards to the trauma from the VCUG. I hated them but really have no problems with Gyn's or other Dr. visits! Also in regards to taking her off medication...if she does get another UTI because she has reflux it can lead to Kidney infections which can cause permanent damage to the kidney. That is the real reason (at least for me) that I was on the medication. But yes, the good news is you do tend to grow out of it. However, you will probably be able to tell when/if she is sexually active because more than likely the problem (UTI's) will appear. Also, I think sibs (and her children) have a 50% or 60% percent chance of having the same issue so you may want to keep an eye out. My ped advised me to have my children checked. Hopefully, you don't mind my two cents worth regarding the issue. Best of luck to you and your beautiful family!!<br />HeatherHeathernoreply@blogger.com
