The harm of sudden lack of urine in babies

Many parents find that their babies suddenly urinate less, which makes them very worried, especially in summer. If the baby urinates less, it will cause serious harm to the baby's body and urinary system. Therefore, many parents want to fully understand the dangers of less urine in their baby. The following content gives a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

Oliguria

Oliguria means that the daily urine volume of school-age children is less than 400 ml, that of preschool children is less than 300 ml, and that of infants and young children is less than 200 ml. Anuria means daily urine volume is less than 30-50 ml. If your child's urine volume suddenly decreases compared to usual, you should first consider whether the child is not drinking enough water or the weather is too hot. If you have ruled out these causes and are still sweating excessively, you may have a medical condition.

Pathological decrease in urine volume can be seen when children become dehydrated due to severe diarrhea and severe vomiting; a more common cause is kidney disease, such as urethral stenosis and obstruction in children, acute nephritis, acute exacerbation of chronic nephritis, renal failure caused by various chronic kidney diseases, and acute renal failure. If anuria occurs, it means that kidney function is severely damaged. Therefore, when you find that your child's urine volume has decreased and you can't find the cause, you should take your child to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.

Polyuria

Most polyuria phenomena are caused by a temporary increase in urine volume after children drink too much water or eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. In addition, because children's nervous system and urinary system are not fully developed, they may also experience psychogenic polyuria. The more nervous they are, the more they want to urinate. Some parents think this is a bad habit and scold their children, not realizing that this will only increase the psychological burden on the children and make the polyuria more obvious.

Therefore, when encountering a child with psychogenic polyuria, parents should patiently use counseling methods, such as telling the child stories, singing songs, distracting the child's attention. When the child is no longer nervous, the polyuria phenomenon will gradually improve. The above-mentioned manifestations of polyuria are all physiological polyuria.

I believe that many parents have already gained a concrete understanding of the dangers of babies suddenly urinating less through the comprehensive introduction above. Therefore, after a comprehensive understanding, in order not to cause harm to the child's body, after your child has oliguria, you should take the child to a large hospital as soon as possible for a comprehensive examination, find out the cause, and improve the condition through treatment as soon as possible.
