Why does a 4-year-old boy urinate frequently?

To put it simply, frequent urination means an increase in the number of urinations. There are many factors that lead to this phenomenon, which can be divided into physiological and pathological ones. It is very common for adults to have symptoms of frequent urination, but some parents find that their children also have symptoms of frequent urination, and they must be very concerned about the reasons so that they can better solve them. So, what’s the matter with a 4-year-old boy’s frequent urination? Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

Children's daytime frequent urination syndrome is also known as children's specific daytime frequent urination, children's psychogenic daytime frequent urination, and simple daytime frequent urination. The names of the diseases seem complicated, but one thing they have in common is that they all have "daytime". As the name suggests, the symptoms only appear during the day and disappear after falling asleep at night. It is more common in children aged 3 to 8 years old, and is more common in spring and early winter. The course of the disease usually ranges from several days to several months, and it will heal suddenly after an average of 3 months. Similar to a sudden onset of the disease, "coming and going quickly" is the most notable feature of this symptom.

Parents can rest assured that children's daytime frequent urination syndrome has no organic pathology and is mostly caused by mental factors. The primary inducing factor may be closely related to the parents. Some parents are worried about their babies wetting their pants, and require their babies to urinate every 10-20 minutes since childhood. In addition, it may also be related to mental factors such as the child not daring to ask for leave to go to the toilet when attending kindergarten or school, high study pressure, fear of being blamed by parents or teachers after wetting their pants, sudden leaving their parents, and introverted personality.

Therefore, the treatment of children's daytime frequent urination syndrome also requires the cooperation of parents, and urination training to correct behavior is the first choice. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Parents must realize the impact of their words and deeds on their children. Do not force the baby to urinate regularly before the age of 3. When the child has symptoms of frequent urination, do not blame him too much for wetting his pants or bedding. When the child urinates once and then asks to urinate frequently, you can divert or distract his attention to relieve the symptoms. Tell the child that he will have no urine for a while after urinating and does not need to go to the toilet often. Guide the child to gradually extend the time to go to the toilet and reduce the number of urination as appropriate. The symptoms will gradually improve and heal themselves.
