My 7 year old son has just got in from school and said his willy hurts. I asked him to show me and he can t pull the foreskin back very far and it looks red. There is no pus or anything but he said it is sore when he goes for a wee. He did go swimming today but he said it was ok then. Have you any ideas or advice please?
Hi, Does he complain of any pain on penile tip even when not passing urine? Is the glans swollen or red? Presence of these features indicates Atlantis / balanoposthitis (infection of glans and foreskin). If you are able to retract foreskin without force, there is no fibrosis. If no such symptoms, and pain is only during urination, this may suggest a urine infection. This is usually associated with increased frequency of urination also. Kindly take him to doctor, as both these conditions needs antibiotic treatment. Meanwhile, keep the area clean and Chat Doctor.
