Patient's question:
For one or two months, she always wets her pants before urinating. For example, just now I asked her if she needs to urinate, and she said no. Less than a minute later, she said she needs to urinate. Upon checking, there was already a little wetness on her pants, but not much. Taking her to the toilet, she still urinates as usual. This happens every time.What kind of assistance is needed:
Hello Doctor, is this a symptom of any illness? How should it be treated? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
People urinate 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times at night. A significant increase in the frequency of urination is called urinary frequency. Urinary frequency is a symptom, not a disease. Due to various different reasons, the frequency of urination may increase continuously, but without pain, it is also known as frequent urination. There are many causes of urinary frequency, including neurological and psychological factors, post-illness weakness, parasitic diseases, etc. For children with urinary frequency, it is necessary to rule out urinary tract infections, external genital inflammation, or penile local inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that frequent urination is mainly caused by children's weak constitution, insufficient kidney qi, relaxed bladder control, and improper transformation and discharge.
