POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Frequent urination in children, especially during the evening and night, can have several causes. Here are the possible reasons:
1. Increased Fluid Intake
If your daughter is drinking more fluids in the evening or consuming diuretics like caffeine (e.g., in chocolate or tea), it could lead to frequent urination.
2. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Symptoms: Pain or burning during urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, or complaints of lower abdominal discomfort.
Action: Consult a pediatrician for a urine test.
3. Overactive Bladder (OAB)
The bladder may contract more frequently, even when not full, leading to frequent urination.
4. Diabetes
Frequent urination, especially at night, could indicate diabetes if accompanied by symptoms like excessive thirst, fatigue, or weight loss.
Action: Check with a doctor for a blood sugar test.
5. Stress or Anxiety
Emotional stress or changes in routine can sometimes lead to frequent urination. Ask your daughter if anything is bothering her.
6. Habitual Frequency
Some children develop a habit of urinating frequently without any medical reason.
What You Can Do:
Monitor Fluid Intake: Limit fluids 1-2 hours before bedtime, but do not overly restrict water during the day.
Encourage Bladder Training: Teach her to hold urine for slightly longer intervals during the day to increase bladder capacity.
Hygiene: Ensure proper genital hygiene to prevent infections.
When to See a Doctor:
If frequent urination is accompanied by pain, fever, unusual thirst, weight loss, or changes in behavior.
If it persists for more than a week without any obvious cause.
Would you like tips on managing her evening routine or further guidance on when to consult a specialist?
