What is the reason for a three-year-old baby's painful urination?

Patient's question:

My daughter just turned three, and she has recently been experiencing symptoms of painful urination. She had a similar issue last month, and this isn't the first time it's happened. I initially thought it was because she had a "fire" in her body (a common Chinese concept referring to internal heat), so I gave her some cooling foods, but the symptoms persist.
What kind of help am I looking for: What could be causing my child's painful urination?

Doctor's answer:

Considering the specific situation, the baby is experiencing pain and frequent urination, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and diagnosis. In this case, it is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for relevant tests, including a routine stool examination, a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, and a thorough check-up. It is not ruled out that there may be conditions such as urinary tract infections, urethral inflammation, or bladder inflammation. Proper treatment should be administered after diagnosis to alleviate the symptoms.
