Patient's question:
The little baby is four and a half years old this year. Recently, for some 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, but she just feels the urge to urinate. 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 too much water during the day. It is suggested that you don't need to solve 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 diagnose and treat the condition accordingly. If the test shows no problems, it could be neurogenic enuresis, and you may need to consult a psychologist.
