What should I do if my child urinates frequently?

The physical health of young children is the greatest wealth for a family. However, since young children's bodies are in the developmental stage, many children are prone to some abnormal disease symptoms. For example, frequent urination and urgency in young children is a relatively common phenomenon, which has a great impact on the lives of young children and is more troublesome and laborious for parents to deal with. Let’s take a look at what to do if your child urinates frequently?

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 we do when facing children with neurogenic frequent urination? First of all, parents should not pay too much attention 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.

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