Patient's question:
Frequent urination, sometimes up to 3 times in 5 minutes, and often complaining of stomach pain. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Neurogenic urinary frequency. What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination in children is very common. There are many reasons that can cause frequent urination, but they can be divided into two major categories: pathological (caused by diseases) and physiological. Pathological frequent urination may be due to infections, stones, tumors, or the presence of foreign bodies, with urinary tract infections being the most common. After a child suffers from a urinary tract infection, the amount of urine each time is not large, but the frequency of urination significantly increases, and symptoms such as urgency and pain during urination may also occur. Physiological frequent urination, in addition to lifestyle factors such as excessive drinking, cold weather, and ill-fitting pants, is most commonly associated with psychogenic frequent urination. Once you notice that your child is urinating frequently, it's important to identify the cause. Avoid anxiously asking the child about this and that, or panicking and asking everyone about various ailments, to prevent further exacerbating the child's urination issues.
