I think main concern for parents, especially with a 4-yr-old child, is that the child doesn't feel traumatized by it. The whole procedure will last maybe around 15-30 minutes only. May I know who her pedia-uro is? If it is the same as my little boy's, Dr. Bolong, then there would be an orientation before the procedure which could really ease the minds of parents. Most of the time, the parents can send off an emotion which the child acquires so I think it's important that the adults with her are also calm and relaxed. By the way, only 1 adult will be allowed with her inside the xray room. Also, it might be best to explain things to her so that she'll be aware of why she has to undergo such a thing. All my best to you and your niece, I'll be praying that the VCUG results will be negative for any serious condition. Feel free to contact me again if you have other questions. God Bless! :) Hi Ning!
