Patient's question:
The little baby is four and a half years old this year. Recently, for some unknown reason, she has been urinating frequently during the day but not at all during the night. When asked if it hurts, she says it doesn't, she just feels like urinating. I'd like to ask what could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
The child has frequent urination during the day but normal urination at night, which is likely caused by drinking more water during the day. It is suggested that you don't need to address it temporarily and wait for two more days to observe carefully. If the child continues to urinate frequently, it might be due to a urinary tract infection caused by inflammation. It would be a good idea to have the child undergo a urinalysis to determine the appropriate treatment. If the test results show no issues, it could be neurogenic enuresis, and you may need to consult a psychologist.
