Child Has Blood In Urine. What Could Be The Reason?
My son is 6 years old and recently went to the the bathroom and found 2 drops of blood in is urine . He has since used the bathroom two additional times with the same results. He says it stings a little when he goes, but doesn t hurt any other time. He is very active and healthy and not complaining of any other symptoms. Can you offer advice or suggestions on what I should be doing?

Dear Ms
The two possibilities are i) Stone in the bladder - would explain the pain on the penis and the blood or it could be ii) Urinary tract infection. The presence of blood in urine is always something that needs detailed testing. He would need at the minimum an examination of the urine, routine and culture and an ultrasound of the abdomen / renal system. Do revert with the results. Thanks.
