Question
My child is currently 27 months old and has been experiencing frequent urination. It’s manageable during the day, but after 7 PM, the frequency increases, often leading to frequent bathroom trips at night, resulting in bedwetting. What should I do?
Answer
Neglecting hygiene can easily lead to urinary tract infections, which may result in symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. If a boy has a long foreskin, urine may often remain in the prepuce sac, causing irritation at the urethral opening and leading to frequent urination. Additionally, increased water intake can also lead to more frequent bathroom trips. If the number of bathroom trips far exceeds this when drinking water normally, it could be considered frequent urination.
