There are some reasons for children to have this situation. Let's introduce it in detail below.

Reasons why children urinate frequently:

1. Urethral and seasonal factors: If you have frequent urination but a small amount of urine each time, and you do not feel any pain when urinating or have any other symptoms, you should first consider local factors, such as inflammation of the urethral orifice, excessive foreskin, or pinworms irritating the genitals. In addition, due to seasonal factors, polyuria in winter is a normal phenomenon.

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 sugary water.

3. Neurogenic urinary frequency: In young children, the detrusor muscle of the bladder is underdeveloped and the nerves are not sound, so they may have daytime spot polyuria, up to 20-30 times, but normal urination at night. There is a tendency for recurring urination, and urine tests are normal. This disease is not caused by inflammation.

4. Urinary tract inflammation: If you have frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination or fever, you should consider urinary tract infection, such as cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. Pus cells or a large number of white blood cells may be found under urine examination or microscope. In severe cases, there are symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning, and antibiotic treatment is required.

5. Special diseases: If frequent urination is accompanied by large urine volume, and at the same time there is thirst, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss, you should pay attention to check the urine. If the urine contains sugar, you should consider diabetes. If there is no sugar in the urine but the specific gravity is low, you should think of diabetes insipidus.

After understanding the reasons for your child's frequent urination, if the condition persists for a period of time without improvement, you should conduct a physical examination in time to see if it is caused by a disease. If it is caused by a disease, you should choose the correct treatment method, which will be of great help in alleviating the child's physical condition.
