What Causes Painful Erection With Dark Reddish Color In A Child?
Hello! My son will turn 3 in March. He has been having painful erections, they have also been a dark reddish color. I don t know if it is normal or not. At one point he said he needed to pee, but he didn t actually go. I am worried he might have Priapism. Any advice?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare-magic

A child with painful erection part from priapism, possibility of urinary tract infection is to be considered including balanoposthitis.
I would suggest you to get a thorough examination from Pediatrician for further management.
Take Care
