For a few weeks now DS has on and off complained about a sore willy 'after' doing a wee.
Back when he first complained about it we took him to the docs as I suspected a urine infection. Doc sent a sample off and said the dipstick showed a trace of blood but wasn't worried. Urine test came back -ve.
Thing is I'm beginning to wonder if there's something 'not right' with DS's bits, but being a woman myself and no other DS's I don't know whats normal. DH isn't much help either.
The niggle is as follows.
When DS goes for a wee, his willy blows up like a balloon first then all the wee comes out. Is this normal or is there something not right? I suspect foreskin too tight, but really not sure why I suspect this.
When I took him to the docs the doc did take a look at his willy and retracted the foreskin a bit to check for soreness etc. He mentioned DS should be doing this in the bath to keep it clean. I'm wary of this and up until then left well alone without issue but have tried a couple of times since but it just doesn't seem to go very far back and I worry about hurting him so generally just leave it alone to just soak in the bath. The area doesn't seem red or anything and he only complains a few minutes after going for a wee..
Advice and opinions needed. Help.
Planning to take him to docs again but feel the need to be armed with a bit more information..
