What should I do if a six-year-old boy urinates frequently but not much?

Although a six-year-old child has reached a certain stage of physical development, there is still a long way to go compared to an adult. At this time, no matter what the situation is, parents should always pay attention to their children's physical condition. Once any abnormality is found, they must take them to the hospital for examination and treatment. So what should parents do when they find that their six-year-old child has frequent urination and very little urine?

Confirm the disease

What should you do if your child has frequent urination? First, parents must observe carefully to initially confirm the symptoms, but the final diagnosis sometimes requires some tests to be made.

The most important thing is to observe whether frequent urination is accompanied by an increase in urine volume. Often when children urinate excessively but also have a large urine volume, this is mostly due to physiological reasons.

In addition to the symptom of frequent urination, are there other symptoms such as fever, urgency, pain when urinating, whether the urine is turbid or the urine color has changed.

In addition, it is necessary to observe the duration of the child's frequent urination, whether it is related to mental factors, diet, medication status, and whether the child suffers from other diseases (such as diabetes).

Prevention and treatment

Frequent urination should be prevented and treated according to the cause. If it is caused by inflammation, anti-infection should be the main treatment; if it is caused by pinworms, deworming should be given; if it is caused by foreskin being too long, surgery can be performed, etc.

For those who have physiological frequent urination caused by increased urine volume, its occurrence can be completely prevented by controlling the food intake that causes the increased urine volume. For example, if frequent urination is caused by high-sugar beverages, parents can encourage their children to drink more boiled water and less beverages. The symptoms can be quickly relieved or even eliminated.

For children who are easily nervous, parents should avoid scolding or abusing them as much as possible to reduce their mental stress. Even if the child has frequent urination, parents should find ways to distract the child's attention from urination.

What should parents do when facing children with neurogenic frequent urination? First of all, they should not pay too much attention to or scold their children. Instead, they should encourage their children to extend the time between urinations as much as possible and record the longest time between urinations every day. If there is progress, appropriate rewards can be given.

Secondly, repeatedly tell your child that he is healthy and that the frequent urination symptoms will improve soon. Eliminate negative psychological factors and encourage children to speak out their worries.

In addition, parents should play and play games with their children, participate in outdoor activities together, and pay attention to the questions raised by children and give serious explanations. Help children to have a correct understanding of the issues they are afraid of and worried about, and restore them to their previous relaxed and happy state of mind as soon as possible.

Finally, if the child is in school, the cooperation of the school teachers should be obtained so that the child can get the teacher's understanding and comfort. As your mind and emotions relax and fear is eliminated, frequent urination will naturally be corrected.
