What Could Painful Urination In Toddlers Suggest?
Hello,My 3 yr old daughter sometimes complains that it hurts when she urinates. She was tested for a UTI but it came back neg. She did have some blood in her urine bu the doctor didn t seemed concerned. She has no fever or other symptoms. She is not going frequently. she pees about 4 time per day and poops at least every other day if not everyday. She does not show signs of pain everytime she pees and it is not at a consistent time of day but does occur more when she is tired (ie before nap or bedtime). Should I be concerned?

Hi.
Looks like ur child is suffering from Dysfunction Elimination Syndrome, where she has irregular bowel and bladder habits.
She has constipation which has a direct relation to abnormal peeing behaviour. She is prone to have UTI.
Her basic treatment is to avoid constipation. She may be given laxative. Asked to drink fluids a lot.
If possible bladder training can also be given, but usually patients can learn voiding behaviour after 5-6 years. At least the child can be asked not to strain much during voiding and take appropriate time to void completely.
Hence not to worry much.
