Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are a common concern for many parents. 👶💧 In this informative video, Dr. Praneet Reddy N, Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist at Prathima Hospitals Kachiguda, explains why UTIs are more common in female children (3–10%) compared to male children (1–5%), especially in younger age groups below 6 months. He discusses causes such as shorter urinary tract in girls, spinal problems like meningomyelocele, neurogenic bladder, and infections caused by organisms like E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and even fungal infections due to recurrent antibiotic usage. 🦠 Proper urine tests and culture, along with a complete antibiotic course as advised by the doctor, are essential to prevent recurrence and protect bladder health. 🩺💙
