Urine infection
My son got urine infection for 3 times when he was 4 months old. We did Scan and MCUG test which were normal. Last infection was treated with IV injection for 7 days. After that his prophylaxis course of antibiotic started. Now he is 12 months old. Doctor suggested for circumcision to prevent further infection. Is it the only way to get out of it? After Circumcision my son will be completely cured?

Well,theoretically,circumcision has nothing to do with UTI,so I have no idea why it is being suggested,but only your paediatrician can guide you better.
