What might be causing a boy's frequent urination?

Adults have been paying more attention to children's physical health issues since they were children. For example, frequent urination in boys can be a headache for adults, as they worry whether there is something wrong with their children's genitals. However, children may be shy and unwilling to talk to adults or go to the hospital for examination. At this time, adults can only understand the approximate reasons themselves. What could be the possible cause of frequent urination in boys?

1. When there is inflammation stimulation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve perception threshold is lowered, the urination center is in an excited state, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume. Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially in acute cystitis.

2. Non-inflammatory stimulation: such as urinary stones and foreign bodies, usually frequent urination is the main manifestation.

3. When the bladder capacity is reduced: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, compression from the enlarged uterus during pregnancy, bladder stones, etc.

4. Psychoneural frequent urination: Frequent urination only occurs during the day and before going to sleep, and is often caused by mental tension and fright. This may also be accompanied by symptoms of urinary urgency.

5. Chronic cystitis

Frequent urination is also one of the common symptoms of chronic cystitis. Chronic cystitis is mostly caused by bacterial invasion when the body's resistance is poor. As the body's immunity begins to decline, bacteria can enter the bladder from the blood or lymph, but more commonly they enter the bladder from the urethra or directly from the kidneys. Chronic cystitis will cause symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and pyuria, but frequent urination is more common.

6. Chronic prostatitis

In chronic prostatitis, patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, fine and forked urine stream, increased number of nocturia, weak urine, difficulty urinating, fever, back pain, abdominal pain, penile pain, discomfort or pain in the testicles, perineum, and anus, wet and odorous scrotum, decreased or absent libido, premature ejaculation, impotence or painful ejaculation, headache, fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, etc.

If this condition persists for a while, try to take your child to the hospital for a check-up. After all, this is not something to be ashamed of. The sooner it is resolved, the sooner you will be happy. In most cases, this condition in boys should not be a serious problem. The possibility of inflammation is relatively higher. No matter which one it is, it is best to confirm the diagnosis and treat it.
