Question
A 5-year-old child suddenly developed symptoms of frequent urination, with everything previously normal. Now, he feels the urge to urinate almost every 2 minutes, even when he doesn’t have a real need to go. The child has undergone urine tests and ultrasound examinations, but the results showed everything was normal. The parents are very worried about the child’s inability to control urination, but the hospital’s thorough examination also failed to identify the problem.
Answer
I’m glad to be able to assist you. Based on the information you provided, the sudden onset of frequent urination in this 5-year-old boy may be due to psychological factors. For example, the child might not like going to school, and this emotional stress could affect his urinary behavior. It is suggested that parents can shift the child’s attention through games or other activities, helping him focus on other things to alleviate this situation. I hope these suggestions can be helpful to you and wish you health.
