hey lovely as you know i am an expert in this dept!!
could be a few things
- wee could be burning him- has he been eating or drinking lots of acidic foods- apples, orange, vinegar, salt, juices, tomatoes -his wee could be acidic and burning him- try a half sachet of ural to take away the sting in his wee when this happens and will making it pass not so burning-
- not enough water- easy to forego the water in this weather and could be making his wee stronger !!!
- could have a small cut on his penis and the wee stinging- get a cream from the chemist called- calmospetine- its a barrier cream as well as a soothing, healing cream
- also salt bathe him- the salt will ease any stinging as well as anti bactierial -
- encourage some nudie time to give the area some air as well

you can tell if he has an infection by the smell and the colour of his wee. get him to pee in a clean container- it will give you an idea if its too strong, cloudy or smelly. When DS gets infection ( he has had over 50 of them) his wee gets cloudy and smells, and even sometimes has blood in it. Also his behavour is really off.

Give me a buzz if you have any other questions. Also I can give you DS's urologists number- he is the top one and head of urology at RCH and sees patients in public and private systems at RCH. He is also world renound and has treated DS1 since birth!!!
If you have any concerns, the first step your GP will take will be to get a renal U/s of area to see if any reflux etc. You can get this on at DV hos, just opp watermarc- they bulk bill too!!
will infections, if you go when they first start, they might be getting an infection but it may be too early to grow a bug. Get them to check the wee and tell you the nitrites and leukocytes numbers- this may indicate a UTI even if they cant grow a bug!!!
ring me if you need any advice and let us know how he goes xxxx
