What causes frequent urination in children?

Answer

Frequent urination, or increased frequency of urination, refers to a significant increase in the number of times one urinates, with each voiding amount remaining normal. Normally, adults urinate about 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times at night. When the frequency increases significantly, it is considered frequent urination. Frequent urination is a symptom that can be caused by various factors, including potential newborn diseases affecting the child. Therefore, parents should immediately take their child to the hospital for treatment to avoid various misconceptions and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. It is very important for parents to provide their child with enough care and attention and to help them receive timely treatment for any diseases.
