What Causes Difficulty To Urinate In Kids?
My son, age 9, is complaining of difficulty urinating. He has no fever and says no pain or burning but is struggling to get urine out and is going frequently. It s 10pm here and my only option is an ER. Trying to determine if this can wait. He is not circumcised and there are no visible signs of infection-no redness, discharge or swelling.

Hi...Looks like strangury. I suggest you give him a glass of sugar water (with 4 spoons of sugar) and then plain water 2-3 glasses. He will be better in 4 hours after passing a lot of urine. If not getting better, I suggest you take him to emergency room and get him evaluated for Urinary tract infection.
