What Causes An Urge To Pass Urine In A Child?
Hi, my son was circumcised six months ago for medical reasons. He is 9 years old. He has been complaining that he feels like he really needs to urinate but when he goes to the toilet nothing actually comes out. Could you tell me if this is normal or if I should get it checked out by his gp. Many Thanks

Hi...the reasons could be -
1. Concentrated urine due to less fluid intake.
2. Strangury
3. Urinary tract infection.
If he doesn't settle in another 24 hours with good amount of fluid intake, I suggest you take him to your GP please.
Kind regards - Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
