What should I do if my child has neurogenic urinary frequency?

In the fast-paced society, not only adults are under great pressure, but parents will also put a lot of pressure on their children for their future. Children have low stress resistance, and excessive stress may lead to the occurrence of some neurological diseases, neurogenic urinary frequency being one of them. Of course, in addition to psychological reasons, neurogenic urinary frequency is also caused by physiological factors. Today we will introduce to you how parents should deal with it when their children have neurogenic urinary frequency. I hope to help the child recover as soon as possible.

Use medication with caution

If you find that your child has frequent urination, you should first take him to the hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of any disease. Since neurogenic urinary frequency is a non-infectious type of urinary frequency and urgency, and urinary tract infection in children is an infectious disease and can also manifest as frequent urination and urgency, a routine urine test at the hospital can provide a clear diagnosis. Urine tests for urinary tract infections in children will be abnormal, showing turbid urine mainly composed of white blood cells. Children will generally also have other symptoms of discomfort, such as fever, crying, irritability, etc. An experienced pediatrician can usually tell the difference.

Once it is confirmed to be neurogenic frequent urination, parents do not need to be too nervous. First, they should analyze the child's recent living conditions, find out the reasons that cause the child's nervousness and anxiety, explain and comfort the child carefully, so that the child has a correct understanding of the things he is afraid of and worried about, and return to his previous relaxed and happy mood as soon as possible. In this way, frequent urination will be corrected naturally.

When the child wants to urinate, encourage him to hold it in and extend the interval between urinations. If he makes progress, he should be praised and the interval between urinations should be gradually extended to normal. For children who have just entered kindergarten, the cooperation of kindergarten teachers is required. The teachers should be more understanding and comfort the children. The children should relax during class and participate in more relaxing and enjoyable games to focus their attention on games or other activities.

Some drugs, such as 654-2 and oryzanol, help regulate nerves, relax the detrusor muscle of the bladder, contract the sphincter, increase the bladder's urine storage capacity, and reduce the frequency of urination. They can be used under the guidance of a doctor when necessary. In addition, you can try boiling 15 grams of corn silk in water and adding appropriate amount of sugar to drink instead of tea. Generally, most children around three years old can be relieved after emotional regulation, and drug treatment is not recommended.

We hope that our introduction today can give parents some direction. When encountering this kind of neurotic urinary frequency in children, parents should first learn to observe the children in detail, reduce the burden on the children psychologically, and see if there are any signs of improvement. If the condition is serious, parents should seek medical attention in time to help their children get rid of the disease and grow up healthily both physically and psychologically.
