Patient's question:
Recently, the baby has been experiencing frequent urination, without any discomfort. Is frequent urination in children a disease? What should be done about frequent urination in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with frequent urination, especially in young children, should be considered in two aspects. The first part indeed involves children with frequent urination caused by various diseases, such as bladder stones, various inflammations like urethritis or cystitis, or frequent urination caused by poor nervous system development. Another part, and a significant portion, is psychogenic frequent urination. For example, if a child frequently urinates during the day with very small amounts of urine each time, but does not urinate excessively after sleeping, this indicates a psychological state rather than a pathological condition. Because in pathological conditions, nighttime urgent urination can cause nighttime bathroom visits.
