Urinary frequency in children during the day - what is the problem?

Patient's question:

Last night last year, it got cold.

Doctor's answer:

Neurogenic Frequency Neurogenic frequency is more common in preschool children, especially in the 4-5 year age group. The main symptoms include an increase in the number of daily urinations without an increase in urine volume, normal urinalysis results, and an increase in urination frequency 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. After sleeping, the frequency of urination decreases, often worsening before going to bed, during meals, and during class.
Advice: Reassure the child repeatedly that they are healthy and that the symptoms of frequency will improve quickly. It is important to eliminate negative psychological factors in the child and encourage them to express any worries they may have. When educating preschool children, patience is key; avoid scolding or punishing them. Kindergartens and childcare centers should organize more relaxed and enjoyable games for new children, and avoid overly stressful classroom activities. Understanding and comforting the child is essential. Do not restrict their ability to urinate; instead, provide reassurance and help them focus on other activities.
