Anyone else dealing with
My daughter Emmalin started last month , she keeps going to potty but only pees a little bit. Fully potty trained since was 3 and goes to pre-k but since told her that school year is over and registered her for kindergarten next year she keeps doing that. I thought was something strange so took her to the doctor and my doctor said she has pollakiuria which is also known as benign idiopathic urinary frequency. It refers to frequent daytime urination in children with no specific cause. Although it’s most common in children 3 to 5 years old, teenagers can develop it, too. The most telling symptom of pollakiuria is that your child will suddenly feel the urge to urinate during the day a lot more than is considered typical, but will not actually wet themselves. For example, your child may go to the bathroom once every half hour or less. In some cases, they may need to go up to 40 times in a single day. They may find that only a little bit of urine comes out each time they go. The doctor said also might be stress of end of the year because child may be feeling stressed out by a big change and it's a stage or can be awareness of their bladder. Your bladder is constantly being filled up with urine produced by your kidneys, which causes it to expand. Normally, you won’t notice the feeling of urine collecting in your bladder until it can’t expand anymore. But if your child has pollakiuria, they are more aware than usual of their bladder filling up, which can make them feel like they need to go to the bathroom every time they feel their bladder expanding. I am kind of worried and freakout . I never deal with this at all so wondered if anyone else has ?
