Baby is seven months old, urinating a short distance, feels weak!

Patient's question:

Baby is seven months old, urinating not far, feels weak!

Doctor's answer:

When a baby urinates, if the urine doesn't go far or lacks force, it's highly suspected that there may be phimosis. This is closely related to the child's condition of phimosis or excessive prepuce. It's important to maintain hygiene in the perineal area and clean it frequently. For boys, during cleaning, it's best to try to retract the prepuce as much as possible. If there's a case of excessive prepuce, the frequency of cleaning should be increased even more appropriately. It's best to wait until the child is older to undergo a circumcision procedure. This may lead to repeated urinary tract infections and could even affect the development of the external genitalia.
