What Could Be Causing Frequent Urination In A 9yr Old Child?
My 9 year old daughter is having the sensation she has to go to the bathroom (urinate) after she has already went. We already been to doctors office and her urine sample is clean. The is no constipation problem. Scheduled to see a specialist but not for a few weeks but not soon enough. Any thoughts of what is causing it.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
At that age usually girls suffer from urinary tract infection.
Sometimes microscopic examination of urine May not reveal infection.
Urine for culture and sensitivity will yield results.
thread worm infestation may irritate the urethra and may cause freequency of urination.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
