What should I do if my child urinates frequently at night?

It is common for children to urinate frequently at night. Babies have very poor resistance and so does their immune system. It is easy to be invaded by viruses and diseases. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to these in normal times, especially the various abnormal symptoms of the baby, especially at night. Children urinate more at night, so parents should pay special attention.

Medically, babies often urinate more often because of their high metabolism, high water intake and small bladder capacity.

The main reasons are: ① Urinary tract inflammation: If you have frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating or fever, you should consider urinary tract infection, such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. Pus cells or a large number of white blood cells can be found under the urine microscope. In severe cases, there are symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning, and antibiotics are required. 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 sugar water.

③Special diseases: If frequent urination is accompanied by large urine volume, thirst, frequent drinking, and weight loss, you should pay attention to checking the urine. If there is sugar in the urine, diabetes should be considered. If there is no sugar in the urine but the specific gravity is low, diabetes insipidus should be considered. ④Urethra and seasonal factors: If frequent urination but small urine volume each time, no painful expression when urinating, and no other symptoms, first consider local factors, such as inflammation of the urethral orifice, prepuce is too long, or pinworms irritate the genitals. In addition, seasonal factors, polyuria in winter is a normal phenomenon. ⑤Neurogenic frequent urination: Infants with bladder detrusor dysplasia and imperfect nerves may have daytime drip polyuria, which can reach 20 to 30 times, but urination is normal at night, with a tendency to recur. Urine tests are normal, and this disease is not caused by inflammation. The baby's frequent urination should be treated according to the cause. If it is caused by inflammation, anti-infection is the main treatment, and deworming is given if it is caused by pinworms. Surgery can be performed for prepuce, and the water intake can be properly controlled if the water intake is simply too much.
