Patient's question:
The child's urine has some foam, and sometimes the turtle's head has obvious prickly pain. What's going on here?? I'm afraid of diabetes but don't know. Please let the doctor clarify~!Doctor's answer:
Foam in the urine is a sign of proteinuria. In children, proteinuria is most commonly associated with nephrotic syndrome, but it can also be seen in urinary tract infections. As for the turtle head having a noticeable sharp pain, it suggests a urinary tract infection.Advice: You can lift the child's foreskin to check if the urethral opening at the is red or has abnormal discharge. It is recommended to have a urinalysis performed at the hospital. If proteinuria is confirmed, a blood albumin test should be conducted.
