Patient's question:
My baby is 23 days old, but in the past two days, he has been urinating frequently, either every 5 minutes or every 10 minutes. He can tolerate it for about one or two hours. What could this symptom be? (Boy) Onset time: Test results:Doctor's answer:
The number of urination per day for infants and young children in the first few months after birth is 4-6 times, which increases to 20-25 times per day after one week. Gradually, the time interval between urination extends, and by the age of one, it is approximately 15-16 times per day. For preschool children, it is about 6-7 times per day. The individual variation in daily urine output is significant and is related to the kidneys themselves, fluid intake, types of food, temperature, humidity, activity level, and psychological factors. The so-called increase in urination frequency for infants and young children generally refers to a condition where the volume of urine excreted is less than half of the intake. The common causes often include exposure to cold, chilling, or immersion in water, as well as excessive emotional tension or shock.
