Our son will be 2 in a few days. He was sick with the flu last week. He also began to complain of pain while urinating. Pee a little and call "oh". Please also tell me by when the foreskin should be retracted?
We do not "pull" the foreskin completely until we are 4 years old, due to the fact that by this age it is physiologically stuck to the glans. When washing, slightly tilt the foreskin as far as possible and wash the penis thoroughly. The easiest way to do a general urine test is that urinary tract inflammation is characterized by an increased amount of white blood cells in the urine. It is this inflammation that can cause stinging in the urethra and hence the discomfort of a 2-year-old.
