Urologist,  's  Response
Grade 3 VUR in a child if present on one side only maybe managed without surgery and sometimes gets corrected with age. However a regular follow-up is necessary. It is importanrt for you to contact your local urologist and verify whether your child meets all the criteria for conservative management.
