Doctor's answer:

Urinary Tract Infection: Urinary tract infections are primarily caused by ascending infection from the urethral orifice. Since the urethral orifice is very close to the anus, boys are prone to infection due to dirt on the foreskin. The infection can lead to local symptoms, such as redness, swelling, and pain.
Urinary Tract Injury: When children play and fall, such as during riding injuries or hard collisions, the urethra may be damaged. Local irritation can cause pain during urination. If the child does not inform their parents due to fear of blame or other reasons, the medical history may be concealed. Improper treatment of urinary tract injuries can lead to urethral stricture.
Since the causes of dysuria vary and the condition is often non-limiting, and since families cannot manage it themselves, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid unnecessary harm.
