Question
How to deal with the issue of infants frequently urinating?
Answer
Infants who frequently urinate may be due to reasons such as inflammation of the urethral opening, phimosis, and pinworm irritation. If accompanied by symptoms such as increased urine volume, excessive thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, further urine tests may be needed to determine if diabetes or diabetes insipidus is present. Treatment should be targeted at the cause; if it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is required; if it is due to phimosis, surgery can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to local hygiene and regular bathing and changing of clothes.
