Connection between involuntary urinating in pants enuresis and inverted penis?

by jj7777, Feb 25, 2008 01:07PM
My son, who is 4 1/2 wets his pants at least 2-3 times a day. He has an inverted penis and had a hernia that was corrected when he was 6 months old.  When we notice that his pants are wet, he gets frustrated and says that he didn't feel that he had to go (sometimes he doesn't even know that he is wet). We took him to his PCP for this and the MD said that he probably just wasn't ready to be fully potty trained yet. This just doesn't seem right. I am wondering if there is a connection between the wetting and the inverted penis? Should I take him to a Pediatric Urologist?

To: whoever has an answer
where is the answer to the question about the boy, who like my son, has the inverted penis, with past herniation and uncontrolled bedwetting??!!!!!! Are they connected? If so, is there a surgery to correct? Exercise that can help? My son had herniated umbilical cord that caused  his belly to pertrude at birth with outy belly button...belly button inverted back in at 3 yrs of age...but his abdomin (abdomen) continues to protrude and he has very weak bladder muscle or proper functioning due to this...he is 11 now and is very embarrassed and I must find someone with a clue or an answer please!!!!! I understand through common sense that I need to take him to have referral to urologist...I just would like info or input before hand...he is nervous and I want to have something for himto read and get some info for his own self and get prepared for a doctor to examine a very private part of his body! I mean he is embarrassed about his "belly", inverted penis and bedwetting and incontinence at his age of 11.  please help! Only serious replies please..I am very frustrated already and the comments and such are only opinions ande such other various ****...I'm not lookin to sue, just fix my son...circumcision did not cause his herniation....this is what I believe has or is really the cause...help! For all you critics out there, I know I misspelled some words and I know which ones I did and I'm not lookin them up for anyones satisfaction!...thank you

Hi,

I don't have answers but have a reference to a site that has a lot of information on urological isues. I hope that it might be of help to you. There also is a Dutch site that you can ask urological questions as well. They have their site in English also.
I have used them many different occasions and they have allways answere my questions and concerns. The urologist is Joop Noordzij.
