Question
How should frequent urination in an 8-year-old child be handled?
Answer
Frequent urination can be caused by various reasons, including infections, kidney stones, tumors, or other foreign objects. However, frequent urination may also simply be physiological, especially in children. In children, urinary tract infections are a common cause, leading to frequent urination but with a relatively small amount of urine each time, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as urgency and pain.
