Does Frequent Urination In A Child Indicate Bladder Infection?

Hi. My 3 year son has been peeing a lot in the last 2 weeks. He doesn t complain it hurts and he is not drinking a lot or asking for drinks. He pees even if its a little. Could that be a bladder infection? We started potty training in June and he totally has it down now, no accidents. Could it be just a fascination with going to the potty whenever he has the urge? The weirdest thing is he can sleep all night and not wet his pullup and doesn t get up in the middle of the night to go. He had his 3 year old checkup the end of July and they tested his urine and it came back normal. Thank you

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Increased freq of urine is an indication to do urine examination both routine and culture and sensitivity to rule out any infection , and to detect any other abnormality in urine examination .

It may be habitual or irritable bladder may be a cause apart form infection which is less likely in your baby's case.

It urine examination is normal , we can be assured that we are not missing any
disease at time.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your baby good health.
