What are the reasons for frequent urination in children?

Patient's question:

My little one is now nearly 27 months old. However, they frequently urinate often. It's fine during the day, but after 7 PM in the evening, they start to urinate more frequently. They often need to urinate seven or eight times at night, which leads to frequent bedwetting. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If you don't pay attention to hygiene regularly, it's easy to develop a urinary tract infection. In this case, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination may appear. If a boy has a very long foreskin, urine often remains in the foreskin sac, which can irritate the urethral opening and also cause frequent urination symptoms. Additionally, drinking more water increases the frequency of urination. If the number of urinations far exceeds this amount even when drinking normally, it is considered frequent urination.
