The 3-year-old boy had a bowel movement at night and cried in pain. After finishing, he still felt the urge to urinate but didn't urinate.

Patient's question:

A 3-year-old boy wakes up at night to urinate and complains of pain. After urination, he still feels the urge to urinate but doesn't produce any urine, without any external factors like redness or swelling.
Recommendations and Potential Causes

Doctor's answer:

I'll explain your question. Based on the situation you described, it is likely a case of urethritis. This is a series of symptoms caused by pathogenic bacteria spreading in the urethra. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid letting the child's buttocks be exposed or sitting on the ground carelessly, as this can easily increase bacterial transmission. It is recommended to actively clean the child's external genitalia, wash and change underwear frequently, drink more water to enhance the body's detoxification, and it usually improves within a few days.
