Does your child avoid going to the washroom frequently?
Ignoring urinary discomfort in children may lead to bigger problems later. Holding urine for too long can increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTI), bladder issues, pain, and discomfort.
Sometimes, conditions like tight fo****in (phimosis), swelling, irritation, or pain during urination can make children fearful of passing urine.
⚠️ Signs parents should not ignore:
• Pain while urinating
• Swelling or redness
• Frequent infections
• Holding urine for long hours
• Difficulty passing urine
A timely pediatric urology evaluation can help identify the cause early and ensure the right treatment for your child’s comfort and health.
Consult Dr. Paritosha Thakar-Dalal for expert pediatric urology care.
