Patient's question:
My son hasn't been clear about what the reason is these days. He has been having difficulty urinating, taking a long time to pass urine. He himself said that it is very painful at the urethral opening when he urinates, and he also has lower back pain. Apart from a little fever, his body feels fine. Should we give him some medicine now?Assistance needed: What can we do to help my son who keeps having difficulty urinating?
Doctor's answer:
Firstly, based on age and the recurring symptoms, it is considered that this may be caused by stones. Generally speaking, if stones reappear, they may be lodged in the urethra, which can lead to obstruction and recurring pain during urination. This is especially true for bladder stones, where the position changes, making it difficult to urinate. In such cases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check for kidney stones.
