Suggest Remedy For Discomfort During Urination
Hi, my 4 year olds pee hole is the size of a needle hole, like tiny. He says something feels like its poking him in his penis, and when he pees he acts like it is bothering him. Should I take him to the er or to the pediatricians office, where they can cut it open back to normal?

small pee hole since birth could be due to a condition called pin hole meatus. it can be secondary to phimosis ( difficulty in retracting the foreskin) look for his urine stream whether it is thin or ballooning during voiding. if he has associated urinary infection that has to be treated first. this is not an emergency.ideally seen by a paediatric surgeon.
