After running a dye test and taking xrays of her bladder it was determined that she will most likely need surgery. We were given the option of antibiotics daily but decided against it. We discussed a couple of treatment options with the specialist and he feels at this point that we need to push lots of liquids and make sure she wipes the right way and put her on a potty schedule. If she gets another infection within the next couple of months then we will do the surgery. I am curious if your daughter has red hair. I read that this condition mainly occurs in a red head . I hope everything goes well with your little one.
