Urethral Reflux

Urethral reflux, understood as a flow of urine in the opposite direction to usual within the urinary tract, causes urine not to follow its normal path toward the outside, which can favor infections or other urinary discomforts.

Common symptoms: It may be associated with repeated urinary infections, discomfort when urinating or, in children, episodes of fever without an apparent cause.

When to see a doctor? Frequent urinary infections or persistent urinary discomfort deserve an evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the nephrologist, with their pediatric branch in minors, study this type of disorder; the general practitioner guides the first visit. If urinary symptoms recur, it is advisable to have them evaluated by a professional.
