my son is 11 years old, he is going for frequent urination in class and home for after every hour, what is the reason

Question

Accepted Answer

Frequent urination in an 11-year-old can have several causes:

1. Increased Fluid Intake: If your child is drinking more fluids than usual, this could lead to more frequent urination.

2. Bladder Irritation: Sometimes, bladder infections or irritation can cause frequent urination.

3. Diabetes: Frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes, especially if accompanied by increased thirst or unexplained weight loss.

4. Overactive Bladder: This condition causes the bladder to contract too often, leading to frequent urination.

5. Emotional Stress: Stress or anxiety can sometimes affect urinary habits.

6. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs can cause frequent urination, often accompanied by discomfort or a burning sensation.

It’s important to have your child evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment. They may suggest tests or refer you to a specialist if needed.
