Question
A child is experiencing frequent urgency to urinate, needing to urinate every 1 to 2 hours. Even during the process of urination, they may wet their clothes, and at night, they may even wet the bed. This condition has been present since childhood. A doctor has previously stated that this is due to the incomplete development of the bladder and there is no need to be overly concerned. Sometimes parents give their children some tonics, such as amomum seed soup, walnut soup, or longan soup, but parents do not want their children to consume these tonics too early, worrying that it may lead to a decline in their constitution.
Answer
Firstly, it is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a routine urine test. If the results are normal, it may be considered that this is due to neurogenic frequency. In this case, parents should not be overly concerned or overly critical of the child. Avoid scolding and criticism and instead encourage the child to extend the time between urinations as much as possible. If the child shows improvement, appropriate rewards can be given.
