A member asked:

Sometimes when swimming my 4yr old says his penis hurts. could the chlorine be bothering it? then pees a lot. also complained a little at the beach.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Penile pain: Yes, the chlorine can be irritating. Have him shower/bathe after he swims both in a pool and at the beach. If he's having persistent pain with urination, he should see his primary care provider who will most likely check his urine for infection.
