Patient's question:
My son is currently just seven years old, and I don't know what's wrong with him. Recently, he always says his mouth is particularly dry and he can drink a lot of water. He has also experienced a significant increase in appetite. The most noticeable change recently is that he loves going to the bathroom very much, and the frequency of urination has increased significantly. After checking and diagnosing at the hospital, it was found that he suffers from diabetes.Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of childhood diabetes mainly manifest in several forms: frequent urination, increased frequency of urination, often thirst, and sometimes needing to get up at night to drink water. Itching of the skin and groin, or repeated urinary tract infections, increased appetite, and enhanced sense of hunger. The early symptoms of childhood diabetes, if they occur in children as they do in adults, often present with symptoms of polyphagia, polydipsia, and polyuria. Its long-term complications are eye, heart, kidney, and neurological damage caused by microvascular lesions.
