YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH CARE/ GENITAL, GROIN AND URINARY TRACT PROBLEMS: BLOOD IN THE URINE (HAEMATURIA) AND ERECTIONS

BLOOD IN THE URINE (HAEMATURIA)

Blood in the urine (haematuria) can be due to many causes, including trauma and infection. If you suspect that your child has blood in his urine (if it is pink, red or brown in colour), see your doctor as soon as possible. Take a specimen of urine with you so that it can be tested for the presence of blood.

ERECTIONS

Erections occur quite often in the newborn and older child and may be the result of a full bladder, or of self-stimulation. In any event it is completely normal for children to have erections. It is important not to tease your child when he has an erection, nor to punish him. Simply pay no special attention to it, and answer any questions from your young son in an honest and matter-of-fact manner.
