What is pollakiuria?
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.

Questions your doctor may ask to check for pollakiuria
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose pollakiuria
Have you been passing urine more often?
Have you felt urge to pass urine again, within 2 hours after trip to the bathroom?
Do you have bladder pain (located in the lower abdomen (stomach)?
Are you passing less urine?
Treatment for 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.
