Why does my child urinate less?

Urinating is a very important thing for the human body. It can discharge excess water and useless substances of metabolism out of the human body. The amount of urine discharged is also related to the health status of the human body. Some children may have less urine. It may be due to pathological reasons or physiological reasons. In short, people need to pay special attention to it. The following is a detailed introduction to why children have less urine.

As children grow, their bladders also develop and are able to store more and more urine, causing them to urinate less and less often.

Children's lack of urine may be due to lack of water

The so-called oliguria in children 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. After all, if you drink too much water, then the urine will definitely increase. If you drink too little water, then the urine will also decrease. If these reasons are ruled out and the child still urinates less, it is possible that the child has a disease.

Children's lack of urine may be due to various diseases

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.

In this case, the symptoms are considered to be caused by insufficient water intake and concentrated urine, not a disease. Don't be overly nervous. You can go to the urology department of a regular public hospital and have a urine test to confirm the diagnosis. Pay attention to drinking more water to increase urine volume, urinate frequently, and observe changes in urine.

If the child does not drink much water or eat much fruit or sweet food, this situation is caused by weak kidney qi, which may cause the child to urinate in the future.

Guidance:

I suggest you give your child some vitamin C and let him eat more nuts to increase his kidney function. He can also eat some sheep kidneys appropriately.
