Recurrent UTIs are relatively common in girls, especially in children who use diapers. An ultrasound may be advised to look for any underlying anatomical abnormalities or complications related to recurrent UTIs. Further investigations can be planned based on the ultrasound findings and clinical history.
Next Steps
Kindly consult your paediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.

Greetings
frequent, small amounts of urine without apparent pain, along with elevated pus cells—resemble characteristics of a structural or functional urinary issue rather than a standard isolated infection. Frequent stooling or sitting in a soiled diaper can absolutely be a major contributing cause, as it allows bacteria to easily migrate up into the urinary tract. Recurrent UTIs in a young child are highly consistent with three distinct possibilities: vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), bladder-bowel dysfunction (BBD), or underlying urinary tract structural anomalies. To permanently address and cure this, a specialist must first identify the exact mechanism behind the recurrence, which may involve at least three distinct management paths: frequent diaper changes and targeted bowel management, long-term low-dose prophylactic antibiotics, or surgical correction if an anatomical blockade or high-grade reflux is confirmed
