Why can’t children urinate completely? These factors need to be taken into account

Parents, please take note: if your child has trouble urinating, you must take it seriously. It may be due to diet or climate change, but it may also be due to neurological or other diseases, so it is important to find out the cause as soon as possible.

1. Urinary tract and seasonal factors:

If you have frequent urination but the amount of urine is not much each time, you do not look painful when urinating, and you have no other symptoms, you should first consider local factors, such as inflammation of the urethral orifice, excessive foreskin, or pinworm irritation to the genitals. In addition, due to seasonal factors, polyuria in winter is a normal phenomenon.

2.Dietary polyuria:

If you have frequent urination and a large amount of urine each time, but no other symptoms, you should first pay attention to whether you drink too much water, especially children who like sugary water.

3. Neurogenic urinary frequency:

In young children, the detrusor muscle of the bladder is underdeveloped and the nerves are not sound, so they may have daytime spot polyuria, up to 20 to 30 times, but normal urination at night. There is a tendency for recurring episodes, and urine tests are normal. This disease is not caused by inflammation.

4. Urinary tract inflammation:

If you have frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination or fever, you should consider urinary tract infection, such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc., and have a urine test. Pus cells or a large number of white blood cells may be found under a microscope. In severe cases, there are symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning, which require antibiotic treatment.

5. Special diseases:

If frequent urination is accompanied by a large amount of urine, and at the same time there is thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, you should pay attention to check your urine. If the urine contains sugar, you should consider diabetes. If there is no sugar in the urine but the specific gravity is low, you should think of diabetes insipidus.

Frequent urination should be 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 the foreskin is too long, surgery can be performed, and if the patient simply drinks too much water, the amount of water intake can be controlled appropriately. In addition, pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene, and take a bath and change clothes frequently.
