For wanting my daughter to have a scan or further investigation

Hi, so my daughter has been having issues for a couple of years (she's 4 now) with going to the toilet ALOT. I took her to the doctors numerous times, once they did find a infection which was treated with antibiotics, twice they have given her thrush treatment which made no difference. So 2 weeks ago her teacher called me in to say she is a bit concerned the amount of times she is going to the toilet, the teacher did say she is definitely weeing which I already know she goes alot at home. if we ever have to go out in the car longer than 10mins we have to use a nappy or she will wet herself and sometimes not possible to pull over on busy roads, motorways etc. The teacher did also say she doesn't drink a massive amount so she can't see that being the reason why she keeps going. The day after the teacher spoke to me she had an accident and there was red blood in her underwear. So I took her back to the doctor who sent another sample off to the lab which found nothing and yet again treated for thrush and took a swab ( waiting for the result of swab) but as I was leaving he said that if the Swab is clear then that's it we just put it down to one of them things, but I really want to push for her to be seen by someone else or have a scan as this has been going on for a while now, and obviously the blood is concerning. Thank you!

@TheApexOfMyLife wasn’t insinuating abuse, she was simply highlighting the weird conclusion the doctor came to as thrush in one so young may point to this.

The autism is relevant here as it might suggest a behavioural cause. My son has had a couple of stages of frequent urination. For him it's triggered by anxiety, then once he gets in the habit of frequent wearing its hard to stop. He is autistic.

Also consider sensory processing issues, look up
Introceptiion. The Eric Bladder and bowel charity have a helpline and they are so knowledgeable if you want some professional advice as some are nurses in this field. Have a look at their website.
