Doctor's Diagnostic Questionson 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?
Treatmentof 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.
