Frequent urination in children is very common. There are many causes of frequent urination, but they can be divided into two main categories. That is, pathological (caused by disease) and physiological. I. Pathological urinary frequency Pathological urinary frequency may be suffering from infections, stones, tumors or the presence of foreign bodies, with urinary tract infections being the most common. After urinary tract infection in children, the volume of urine is not much each time, but the number of urination increases significantly, and there may be symptoms such as urinary urgency and painful urination. Because of the pain, children often cry when they urinate. In addition, suffering from urinary tract infection is usually accompanied by systemic symptoms. Such as increased body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting, etc. A routine urine test can help with the diagnosis. Treatment involves giving the child plenty of water, keeping them well rested, and applying antibiotics and other medications under the guidance of a doctor. Pinworm irritation can also cause frequent urination in children. When infected with pinworms, the adult worms crawl near the anus at night to lay eggs, and small white thread-like worms can be seen during examination. Treatment should include nail clipping, correcting the child’s hand-sucking habits, ironing underwear and bedding covers, and taking dewormers under medical supervision. Physiological urinary frequency The most common cause of physiological urinary frequency is psychogenic urinary frequency, in addition to other lifestyle factors such as drinking too much water, cold weather and ill-fitting pants. Short-term frequent urination is often associated with the child’s desire to get the parents’ attention. Many young parents have experienced this: while adults are chatting away, their children will occasionally shout, “Mommy (Daddy) I have to pee!” This frequent urination is usually temporary and disappears naturally when the parents interrupt the conversation by taking the child to the bathroom. However, if parents do not pay enough attention to their children, so that they always use urination as a “trump card” to seek attention, they may fall into the habitual mental urination problem, and then it is difficult to correct it. Once you find that your child is urinating frequently, you should look for the cause, i.e. don’t nervously ask your child about this and that, and don’t make a fuss about asking everyone about the cure, so as not to reinforce the idea that “if I pee, mom will pay attention to me”. And don’t scold your child, “No peeing!” Instead, you should guide your child in a good way so that he can overcome it consciously. There are many causes of psychogenic urinary frequency, and in order to get a good result, we need to find the right cause and target it. There are several points to diagnose psychogenic frequent urination: 1. children’s nighttime urination does not increase; 2. the frequency of urination decreases when they are concentrated; 3. when they have the urge to urinate, they may forget to go to the toilet temporarily due to other events; 4. there is no fever or other general discomfort.
