Patient's question:
Frequency of urination, less urination, pain when pinching the frontIntermittent, occurred last year
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms you described are likely to be childhood urinary frequency. Neurogenic urinary frequency is most common in preschool children, particularly those aged 4-5. The main symptoms include an increase in the number of daily urinations without an increase in urine volume, with normal urinalysis results. The number of urinations can range from the normal 6-8 times per day to 20-30 times, or even more than 10 times per hour. Each time, the amount of urine passed is very small, sometimes only a few drops. No urinary frequency occurs after sleep, and it often worsens before going to bed, during meals, or in class.The development of the cerebral cortex in children is not yet complete, and their inhibitory function over the spinal primary micturition center is weaker. This function is also the most fragile and easily damaged, which is the intrinsic reason why children are prone to this condition. Being startled or experiencing mental tension can easily lead to neurofunctional disorders and trigger this condition. It is important to repeatedly tell the child that they are healthy and that the urinary frequency symptoms will improve quickly. Negative psychological factors in the child should be eliminated, and encouragement should be given to help them express any worries they may have.
