Patient's question:
My children (twins) are years old. My son always wants to urinate before going to sleep, and he urinates very little, but after falling asleep, he may only wake up once during the night. There are no other symptoms. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Urinary frequency in children is very common. There are many causes of urinary frequency. However, it can be divided into two major categories: pathological (caused by diseases) and physiological. Pathological urinary frequency may be due to infections, stones, tumors, or the presence of foreign bodies. Urinary tract infections are most common. Once a child is found to have urinary frequency, it is important to identify the cause. This means avoiding anxious questions about the child's condition and not alarmingly asking everyone for treatment methods, to prevent reinforcing the child's urination.
