POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. Thank you for sharing. From what you described, your 6-year-old daughter is experiencing a sensation of needing to urinate frequently or feeling like urine is still there after peeing. This could be due to a urinary tract infection (UTI), but it might also be caused by other issues like bladder irritation, habitual behavior, or vaginal irritation in young girls.
🚩 Possible Reasons:
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Burning or pain during urination Frequent urge to urinate Fever or belly pain (sometimes) Strong-smelling or cloudy urine
Vaginal Irritation
Can happen if not cleaning properly after peeing or wiping from back to front Using scented soaps or bubble baths
Bladder Habit/Overactive Bladder
A learned habit where the child feels the urge more often Stress or anxiety can also play a role
Constipation
A full rectum can press on the bladder and cause urinary symptoms ✅ What You Can Do: Keep her hydrated – Encourage more water and avoid sugary drinks. Wipe properly – Teach her to wipe front to back after using the toilet. Avoid irritants – No bubble baths, perfumed soaps, or tight clothing. Proper toilet habits – Encourage her to fully empty the bladder and avoid rushing. 🩺 When to See the Doctor: If there is burning or pain, fever, or she is urinating very frequently If she is wetting herself, or if symptoms don’t go away in a couple of days A urine test (urinalysis) may be needed to confirm or rule out a UTI
