Almost everyone experience heartburn or acid indigestion at times. But what is acid reflux and how could it cause more serious problems?...
Can you tell the difference between common heartburn symptoms and signs of more serious digestive problems? Learn when and how to take action for acid reflux....
Heartburn is common, but it is not trivial. It's important to diagnose and treat heartburn or acid reflux as early as possible. Review diagnostic procedure now...

Q: Kidney Reflux In Adults

Hiya,

my best friend has been diagnosed with kidney reflux, apparently its a lot more common in children and easier to treat. Does anyone know any adults with it? How have they been treated? Because my friend was told that they are unsure on the best treatment for her, so they are going to have to experiment with a few, such a reinforcing her ureter, but this could all be wasted because if she chooses to have children the pressure on the bladder will destroy all the work they have done. Surely there is something they can do?

kidney reflux
I'm so frustrated! I can't find very much information about kidney reflux in teenagers and I can't find any statistics to see how often surgery is performed for reflux or what the treatment is for lesser grades of reflux - what if they don't outgrow it? How bad does the reflux have to be? Can it ever correct itself?
Why would my teenager not have any symptoms until age 12? I'm confused

Hi, my names Tyler. I am a 15 year old living with Kidney Reflux. My mother is who I got it from and still to this day she has it. It does not effect her in any way. She doesn't go to the bathroom more and she doesn't end up with pee in her underwear. Maybe some cases are different but for the most part she lives a normal life Smile
