Question
For a long time now, I’ve noticed that my child needs to use the bathroom very frequently every day, much more than before, even at night. The child is in second grade. The doctor said it’s neurogenic urinary frequency. How can we deal with this condition in children?
Answer
The recurrence of neurogenic urinary frequency in children is often related to stress from practice, changes in living or practice environments. In such cases, it’s important to conduct urine routine tests promptly to rule out other diseases. Generally, neurogenic urinary frequency can be stabilized through distraction techniques, and it usually doesn’t have serious consequences. It’s crucial not to scold the child. Oral atropine tablets can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.
