Penis pain in the Emergency Department


Listen Later

Penis pain in children can be alarming for parents and confusing for kids — but not all causes are serious. In this episode, host Dr Anthea Rhodes is joined by Emergency Department Doctor, Bec Hughes to unpack the common reasons children can present to the ED with pain in the penis.

Unpacking the conditions and injuries that can lead families to head to the Emergency Department, they explore what to look out for and when to seek help.

A must-listen for any parent wanting to feel more confident navigating this sensitive topic.

Note: across the course of the episode our doctors mostly refer to ‘children’ rather than using gendered terms. This decision was made to ensure the information supports all children who may be impacted by these concerns.

Kids Health Info is funded thanks to the support of the Good Friday Appeal.
