Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing frequent urination! He pees a few drops each time, with short intervals. Previous treatment and outcomes: The doctor said that fright can also cause it, and it is also known as neurogenic frequent urination. Seeking assistance on how to deal with it: What causes it? How should it be treated? Can it heal itself? Does it have a significant impact on the child’s health?
Answer
Neurogenic frequent urination often occurs in preschool children, characterized by an increased number of daily voids with very little urine each time. This is due to the incomplete development of the cerebral cortex in children, which has a weaker inhibitory function on the primary micturition center of the spinal cord, making them easily affected by fright and nervous tension.
