Frequent urination

Posted: Mon, Dec 31 2007, 9:18 am Post subject: frequent urination

My six year old son has been peeing every 20 minutes or so during the day that I notice and I'm wondering if I should bring him to the doc for this. He says it doesn't hurt at all when he pees and the reason according to him is because it is cold. He only goes a tiny bit every time he runs to the bathroom but it is inconveinent when we are in the car or even walking outside. As a side note, he's been dry at night lately which has not happened in a while. Any suggestions?

u should call your dr. and ask, b/c y not,
but I will add, and maybe it's tmi, but u were asking...
when I was younger (okay, even now Embarassed

), if I hold it in too long, I get what I call, a "leaking pish"- I keep on having to go like every 20 min or so for quite a while and then it passes.
weird, I know. but as far as I know, nothing is wrong with me- just the way god made me! Very Happy

(and a very fine job He did, I might add Wink

)
I hope everything is fine.

my dd went thru a phase like this. tell u son to sit for a little while when he goes to make sure that everything is coming out so he wont have to go so often. if u call your dr theyll probably just take a urine sample to rule out infections. if its nothing physicly wrong it could also be nerves or anixiety. I know that was what happened with my dd and eventually it passed after dealing with the issue.
