What should I do if my child feels pain when urinating?

It is quite common for children to have pain when urinating. Children usually won’t express it themselves when they have pain when urinating, and many parents will ignore it, thinking that it is harmless to the body, so they don’t treat it in time, which will eventually lead to other complications in the child’s body. In fact, there are many reasons why children have pain when urinating. Let’s take a look at what causes children to have pain when urinating.

If you feel pain when urinating, it may be caused by some kind of infection in the urinary system. For women, the most likely cause is a bladder infection causing cystitis; for men, it is more likely to be an infection of the prostate. Regardless of the cause, an active (active) urinary tract infection will not only cause pain, but also fever and shivering (chills).

Most people can probably pinpoint the exact location of the infection by paying attention to the location of the pain and the time of onset. For example, when you urinate, you may feel a burning sensation, as if you are passing hot water, but you are actually urinating!

Painful frequent urination in women may be caused by unconscious (mechanical) stimulation of the urethra and is often related to vaginal infection. There is also interstitial cystitis. The cause of this disease is unknown. We used to think that bladder inflammation was caused by infection, but now we are no longer so sure of this statement.

For men, if in addition to pain during urination, the urine flow seems very small, the force of the urine is also very weak, and sometimes even scattered and unfocused, it is possible that the urine is encountering some kind of obstruction during the flow. This situation is mostly caused by an enlarged prostate. But it may also be caused by a neurological problem that paralyzes the muscles that control bladder function.

There are many reasons why children have pain when urinating. The above are some common reasons that I introduced to you. I hope it will be helpful to all parents. If it hurts to urinate, you must pay attention to your daily life and routine, let your children develop a good life and routine, and then drink more water. Drinking more water can promote urethral detoxification and help relieve pain when urinating.
