Hello, I understand your concern Sometimes children go through a phase of frequent urination or minor accidents, especially around age 4. It can be due to excitement, distraction, or even minor irritation. Common causes: Overactive bladder / urgency Urinary tract infection (UTI) Post-UTI irritability Daytime urinary frequency syndrome (pollakiuria) – sudden frequent peeing, small amounts, usually resolves in weeks Psychological stress Constipation Diabetes (if excessive thirst, appetite, or weight loss present) Encourage timed voiding: ask child to try urinating every 2–3 hours Avoid bladder irritants: chocolate, citrus juices, soft drinks Ensure proper hydration Avoid punishing or shaming the child Check for and treat constipation
Next Steps
Urine routine & microscopy Urine culture (if infection suspected) Blood sugar (if red flags for diabetes) Ultrasound KUB if symptoms persist or recurrent
Health Tips
Review with Pediatrician: If symptoms worsen or persist beyond 2 weeks If pain, fever, or excessive thirst develops If there is night-time wetting after being dry for >6 months (secondary enuresis)
