Question
My two-year-old daughter has been having a frequent urge to urinate lately, and she pees very little. Sometimes she can’t even get her pants down in time and ends up wetting them. When she says “pee” and “poop,” it sounds the same. Sometimes she is very urgent, but only a few drops come out. How can I help her?
Answer
Frequent urination and urgency in children may be caused by urinary tract infections, perineal infections, or pinworm infections. If children cry while urinating, have an unusual urine odor, or a fishy smell, or if they urinate more frequently, they should go to the hospital for a urine test. These symptoms may indicate a urinary tract infection. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you all the best for your health.
