Treatment history and effectiveness: 1. Took antibiotics 2. The doctor recommended a daily sit bath for 15 minutes What kind of help is desired: There has been no significant effect. Hope to receive some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's condition is frequent urination. There are many factors that can cause frequent urination in children, such as: increased urine volume (due to drinking or beverages, or excessive milk), inflammatory stimulation, non-inflammatory stimulation, anatomical abnormalities of the bladder or urinary tract, neurogenic urinary frequency, and so on.
1. If the child's urinalysis is normal, the possibility of a urinary tract infection can be largely ruled out.
2. It is recommended to rule out urethral factors, such as frequent urination with small amounts of urine each time, no pain expression during urination, and no other symptoms. In this case, local factors should be considered first, such as inflammation of the urethral opening or irritation of the genital area by pinworms. It is important to clean the external genital area with warm water frequently. Sitz baths can also be helpful.
3. Neurogenic urinary frequency, also known as daytime urinary frequency syndrome, is characterized by increased daytime urination with normal nighttime urination, and no abnormalities in urinalysis. Appropriate use of drugs that regulate the nervous system may be considered. This is generally not a serious issue and can resolve on its own.
Wishing your baby healthy growth!
