What should I do if my child's scrotum swells when they urinate?

Patient's question:

My child is three years old. Lately, when they want to urinate, the base of the penis and testicles start to hurt. The pain goes away after urination. It doesn't hurt when they don't want to use the restroom. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

This should be a problem of urinary tract infection.
Suggestion: It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and have a urinalysis to confirm the diagnosis. Oral antibiotics are needed for anti-inflammatory treatment, and it is important to drink more water.
The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
