My son is 2.5 year old and says his willy hurts. He's said it for a few months now and at first I thought it was his hate for nappies but he is now potty trained and is still saying it. I've noticed it is predominantly when he has a hard on.. He doesn't have a urine infection and the doctor says it looks fine. Anyone else experienced this? Any tips. Or ideas to help?

It might just be because of the sensation? Maybe ask him more questions if he can answer x

i think it’s just a thing little boys say because they don’t know what it actually means when my son says this it means he needs to go potty that’s just him recognizing his body telling him he needs to go

It could be his foreskin being too tight. My nephew had it when he was 2/3. He would complain of the same and it caused him problems. They just cut a little of it off to loosen it. You can’t tell it’s not a full removal. My partner also had this as a young child too. He has the same thing done. It’s harmless but uncomfortable. They notice it more when it’s stimulated or having a wee etc

Just take him to the doctors
he just says hurting. I do wonder if it's the sensation
I have..
true. Just don't know if it's something to worry about or just a 'norm'
is that a circumcision?

It’s like a partial one. So they don’t remove the full forskin but they remove the part making it tight and uncomfortable unless you want the full job.

Oh I’m sorry! I think I read it too quick. I hope he will be okay but sucks that the doctor isn’t helpful

my 3 year old said it and I took him to the pediatrician and he said it was normal and my son was in the midst of potty training maybe that’s why
Thanks everyone, a little reassuring!
