What Causes Wetness Feelings After Urination?

Hi, my 8 yr old daughter wipes herself about 15 times after urinating and will not stop with out a fight. She is hurting herself down there. She tells me she feels wet and it will not go away. What do I do? The bathroom is a major production for her, so she will hold it for a long time. Mary

Hi,

This may suggest urine collecting inside vagina / vestibule due to improper positioning while urination, which then dribbles after getting up. Make her to sit with thighs widely apart while urinating (for this, inners are preferably removed). Squatting position, if feasible will also help. Also, we have to council her that holding bladder is not at all a good habit, as it will lead to problems like recurrent urine infection or bed wetting.

If these measures do not help, kindly take her to doctor to look for any other underlying cause like labial adhesions or ectopic urethra.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
