What to do if a little boy can't urinate

Normal adults who have symptoms of urinary incontinence will go to the hospital for a check-up to see if they have inflammation. However, when a little boy has symptoms of urinary incontinence, parents need to observe patiently to see if it is caused by the season, or if it is due to drinking too much water and neurotic polyuria. There are also many other factors that need to be understood and recognized in order to choose the appropriate treatment method.

Why can't children urinate completely?

1. Urinary tract and seasonal factors:

If you have frequent urination but the amount of urine is not much each time, you do not look painful when urinating, and you have no other symptoms, you should first consider local factors, such as inflammation of the urethral orifice, excessive foreskin, or pinworm irritation to 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 to 30 times, but normal urination at night. There is a tendency for recurring episodes, and urine tests are normal. This disease is not caused by inflammation.

4. Urinary tract inflammation:

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

5. Special diseases:

If frequent urination is accompanied by a large amount of urine, and at the same time there is thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, you should pay attention to check your 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.

Frequent urination should be treated according to the cause. If it is caused by inflammation, anti-infection should be the main treatment. If it is caused by pinworms, deworming should be given. If the foreskin is too long, surgery can be performed, and if the patient simply drinks too much water, the amount of water intake can be controlled appropriately. In addition, pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene, and take a bath and change clothes frequently.
