What should I do if my child urinates frequently and urgently?

Frequent urination and urgency are common diseases in our lives, and they will cause us certain pain. However, once a child has frequent urination and urgency, parents will always be very anxious. If such symptoms are not adjusted in time, it will also affect the health of the child. When such symptoms occur, many parents will always blindly give their children medication, which is not good for health. Let's learn about what to do if children have frequent urination and urgency.

What should I do if my child urinates frequently and urgently?

What should I do if my 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. 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.

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).

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 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.

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.

For frequent urination caused by urinary tract infection, parents should pay attention to cleanliness after defecation, change children's underwear frequently and not wear open-crotch pants to prevent the occurrence of urinary tract infection. In addition, during the treatment of urinary tract infection, you must take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions and complete the course of treatment. Do not stop or reduce the dosage without authorization because the symptoms improve slightly after treatment. This can easily cause recurrence and turn into a chronic disease. Recurrent urinary tract infections are often caused by congenital malformations of the urinary system, and the cause should be identified promptly.

The above is an introduction to what to do if children have frequent and urgent urination. If such symptoms occur, you must take your child to a regular specialist hospital for examination and treatment. In addition, you should also make adjustments to the diet. You can give your child some corn silk soup and red bean soup, and you can help your child distract his attention appropriately, which will be of great help to the recovery of the disease.
