The main reasons why small children empty their bladders more often than usual: hypothermia; taking diuretic medications, herbs; a number of psychological reasons (stress, nerves, anxiety, depression, neurological disorders); serious illnesses and pathological abnormal changes in the bladder and urinary tract.
Parents should worry if their baby "goes to the toilet" more often than usual for 3-5 days. In this case, you need to monitor the smell of urine, its color and shade. If the baby is in pain when going to the toilet, he complains of burning and itching after urination, you must immediately seek medical help.
To find out the root cause of frequent emptying, it is recommended to take a number of tests to get a complete clinical picture. The cause of the inflammatory process of the internal organs may be non-compliance with hygiene rules.
If you do not change a baby's diapers for a long time, then his genitals will become rotten and the inflammatory process will become active. Special attention should be paid to the rules of hygiene for girls. If there is improper or insufficient care of your body, bacteria from the rectum can get onto the genitals, which will lead to inflammation of the pelvic organs.
One of the diseases that little patients suffer from is genitourinary infections. In this case, the following is observed: a small volume of urine, frequent false urges to empty the bowels, pain and burning during the passage of urine.
If there are symptoms of infectious diseases that are accompanied by an increase in body temperature, incontinence, pain in the lower abdomen and in the perineum, a change in the color of urine - this indicates cystitis in the acute stage. An elevated temperature indicates that the body is fighting an inflammatory process. In this case, it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment with medications that should only be prescribed by a doctor.
Symptoms of diabetes: the child drinks a lot of water and constantly asks to go to the toilet, loses appetite or changes in food preferences. Signs of diabetes are also weight loss, lethargy and drowsiness. An endocrinologist can help cure the disease.
Overactive bladder is a pathology that occurs in young patients aged 5-6 years. If after this age the frequency of emptying does not return to normal, you should consult a pediatrician or neurologist.
Signs of enuresis are urination that cannot be controlled. Frequent urination may hide synechia in females, hypoplasia, and other pathological changes.
Solution to the problem
According to statistics, problems with urination in childhood are observed in 1 out of 5 families.
If these problems are not related to the baby's health, then you should look for the causes of frequent urination in something else:
- First Parents should pay attention to the process of going to the potty (there are cases when children want to please their parents and constantly go to the potty, because the adults, when they were teaching the baby to it, were very happy with the success of their child)
- Second Stressful situations negatively affect the well-being of the child, it is because of psychological tension in the family that children wet the bed at night
- Third Children should not be allowed to drink 2-3 glasses of liquid before bed

Urination norms
Pediatricians have determined the norms of urination in children. They depend on their age and physical development. If the child is fully formed, does not get sick, follows the correct daily routine, eats well, then everything will be fine with the volume of urination. It is necessary to remember one pattern: teenagers and adults urinate less often than newborns.
Generally accepted indicators of the frequency and volume of urination:
If you began to notice that the child visits the toilet 2-3 times per hour, this may indicate serious health problems.
