What does it mean if your child wants to pass urine frequently, but the urine test shows no evidence of infection?
Oct 21, 2022
These children are screened for urine infections and structural abnormalities. If all the tests are normal then the child is put on a bladder management schedule. That is the child is consciously taught good bladder and bowel habits.
It starts with regular sleep time, drinking adequate fluids, cutting down on screen time. The child is encouraged to visit the washroom every 2-3 hrs. And the child is taught to empty the bladder to completion (they are asked to attempt to void one more time before leaving the washroom).
Improvement is gradual. Some children may need medications to reduce the frequent bladder contractions or laxatives to improve bowel movement. Further tests are done if there is no improvement of symptoms.
