Question
What could be the possible reasons for a newborn to cry before urinating?
Answer
Based on the symptoms of crying before urination, it is initially suspected that the baby may be feeling discomfort. It is not ruled out that the baby may have urethritis. It is recommended to take the child to a local hospital for a routine urine test. Treatment may require antibiotics for 7-10 days, along with increased fluid intake to promote urination. It is important to check for congenital urological malformations, as they may require appropriate treatment. Additionally, if there is an unexplained fever, a urine test should also be conducted to improve the diagnosis rate of urethritis and further investigate for congenital urological malformations. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
