What Causes Pain In Penis Head While Urinating?

My 9 year old son just went to pee before going to bed. He says the inside of the head of his penis hurt/burned as he was peeing. It stopped after he stopped and started when he started peeing again. This is the first he has said it hurts and went to the bathroom several times today with no mention. My husband says he prob. got soap inside the head, but he has not had a bath or shower since Tuesday (this is thursday night), he has been swimming for two days in our salt water pool which he has done for the past 3 months. No new laundry or shower soaps. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,

Increased frequency of urination along with pain can suggest urine infection, especially if associated with fever or lower abdominal discomfort. Concentrated urine from inadequate water intake can also cause some discomfort on urination, but here we expect infrequent voiding.

Just give him paracetamol 3 times a day after food for 2 days. If not relief by then or fever comes, kindly take him to doctor for urine examination and antibiotic treatment accordingly. Meanwhile drink plenty of oral fluids.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
