Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi... i have a 2 year old son. he has been holding his penis and squeezing it for a few days now. he however does not cry or strain during voiding. his prepuce is fully not retractile yet and we can feel smegmatous nodules over his glans under the prepuce. we did a urinalysis which showed no albumin/sugar; 4-6 pus cells 1-2 epi cells. do we need to evaluate him any further. we have done a couple of Ultrasonograms in the past showing normal bladder with no dilatation of upper tracts. kindly advise
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Up to five pus cells in urine are normal, as your son does not cry during urination it is unlikely to be a urinary tract infection , on safer side you can get a urine culture and sensitivity report . Main problem is prepucial adhesion which needs to be taken care , because it is accumulated secretions which are causing him problem. You can either get surgeon help for adhesions or can try topical steroids which gentle retraction to loosen adhesions.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Take care.
