Is VCUG Test Necessary For Frequent Urination?
My 5 year old complains that her bottom is leaking. It is normally after she goes to the bathroom. She says it leaks but underwear is never wet. She does wet the bed almost every night even after going to the bathroom just before bed and not drinking after 8 pm. She is scheduled for a vcug test. do you think it is necessary?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having vesico-ureteric reflux producing this problem.
To decide this problem VCUG test is important.
Go for regular urine culture report and accordingly your pediatrician will go for appropriate antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and take care.
