How to deal with frequent urination and urgency in children?

Patient's question:

1-2 hours urinate once, but as long as there is urine, often run to the toilet, not winning, run halfway and wet, sometimes even when arriving at the toilet, ready to take off pants and wet. At night it's even worse, urinate in bed every day. Since childhood it has been like this. Previous treatment and effectiveness: did not fully understand the treatment, when checked, the doctor said the bladder had not developed well, it's okay. Sometimes cooked some sand soup or walnut soup or longan soup, but it's a lot, but I don't want such a young child to eat so many tonifying things all the time, afraid that the more you nourish, the weaker you become. What kind of assistance is desired: want to understand what the reason is, how to fundamentally suppress or treat this condition

Doctor's answer:

Neurogenic enuresis is more common in children of this age group as well as slightly older children. It primarily manifests as an increased frequency of urination without an increase in urine volume, with normal urinalysis results. The number of urinations can range from the normal 6 to 8 times per day to 20 to 30 times, or even 10 times per hour, with very small amounts of urine each time, sometimes just a few drops. There is usually no urinary frequency after deep sleep, often occurring shortly before going to bed or after dinner. It is recommended to first have a urinalysis done at the hospital. If the urinalysis is normal, then neurogenic enuresis should be considered. In such cases, it is important not to overfocus or criticize excessively, nor to scold or reprimand. Instead, encourage the child to shorten the time interval between two urinations as much as possible. If there is progress, appropriate extra rewards can be given.
