Question

How should one handle frequent urination in an 8-year-old child?

Answer

Pathological frequent urination may be caused by infections, stones, tumors, or other foreign objects, with urinary tract infections being the most common. When a child has a urinary tract infection, although the amount of urine per voiding is not much, the frequency of urination increases significantly, and symptoms such as urgency and pain during urination may occur.
