Pollakiuria is frequent daytime urination (up to 40 times a day) in children. It's most common in children 3 to 5 years old, but teenagers can develop it too. The exact cause is unknown but could be due to stress and other psychogenic triggers like moving, being bullied, or parents divorcing.
Typical Symptoms of Pollakiuria
- Needing to pass urine again, despite just passing less than 2 hours ago
- Decrease in urine volume
- Bladder pain
- Decreased urine volume with painful urination
- Need to strain or bear down to pass urine, in the past month
- Frequent urination
- Abnormal vaginal discharge e.g. in color, smell, or quantity
- Feeling that my uterus has dropped down, or something is coming out of the vagina
Diagnostic Questions for Pollakiuria
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you felt urge to pass urine again, within 2 hours after using the bathroom?
- Are you urinating less?
- Do you have lower abdominal bladder pain?
- Are you experiencing painful urination and decreased urine output?
- Have you had difficulty urinating recently?
Treatment of Pollakiuria
Pollakiuria subsides within a few weeks and in some cases, 7–12 months. Reassuring the child that they are healthy and can wait longer to urinate without having an accident can help. A counselor can help manage psychogenic triggers in the child. A doctor may advise tests to rule out other possible causes.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
