What to do if your child has pain when urinating?

It is a common phenomenon that children have pain when urinating, because their genitals are relatively fragile and are particularly prone to infection. Therefore, children who do not take good care of their hygiene are particularly prone to urinating pain. So what should you do if your child has pain when urinating? In order for you to recover as soon as possible, please read the following introduction, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Today I answered a question in the community about what to do if a child said it hurts to urinate. I copied the post here so that more people can share it:

Four Seasons Pastoral: My daughter is 2 years old. Recently, she sometimes complains that it hurts when she urinates, but she won’t say anything else. I took a look but couldn't see anything. Later I ran some tests and the doctor told me to drink more water and wash with warm water. I didn't need antibiotics yet, but I would use them if the condition worsened. I looked at the test results, nothing special, just the urine pH value was 5 the first time, and 5.5 the second time. It should be related to this. Is it caused by internal heat? I want to wash with lily water, but I dare not. What is going on? What should I do?

I also want to know what kind of disease this urinary system disease belongs to in Chinese medicine, dampness? Heat?

Moderator's reply: Normal urine is acidic, and 5.5 is normal. The value measured by pH alone is meaningless to children.

Based on your description of painful urination, it is similar to stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by damp-heat accumulation in the lower jiao and poor bladder gasification.

The main treatment principles are clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, and relieving stranguria. You can look up this disease online. It is similar to urinary tract infection.

Symptoms include urinary urgency and pain when urinating, sometimes accompanied by fever, etc. The disease usually develops rapidly and many cases become chronic.

I don't know if it's suitable for your child, just for reference!

Four Seasons Pastoral Song: Thank you, I checked it out and found a similar one. Do you think it is "Bladder Fire, Sand and Stone Strangury (Etiology, Symptoms and Treatment)": Damp heat accumulates in the lower part of the body, which is blocked in the bladder, causing astringent and stinging pain in the urination, which leads to the lower abdomen or sand and stone in the lower abdomen. Children with this syndrome also have astringent and painful urination, and the cause is the same. The treatment method must use the method of calming the liver to help dredge and release; kidney deficiency and poor transportation and transformation must be used to replenish kidney yin and kidney yang, clear the small intestine and bladder, and promote urination to eliminate dampness and fire. **, all are like this. Acupoints: Erren Shangma, Pinggan, Qingxiaochang"

After reading these, I think this should be it. The doctor said to drink more water, which should be a diuretic, but my baby doesn't like boiled water, so I had to try massage.
