Worried

[Jotkaur]

Hello all I remember making a forum about my daughter last year about having a undone infection and even after it cleared she kept going to the toilet but not doing anything. Well now she seems to be getting in the same pattern again she did stop for a few months I’m getting really worries now she dosent have a urine infection I don’t know if it’s anxiety but she seems to be going every other 20 mins. Can anyone else relate to this or help in any sort of way.

I think I remember you repeatedly posting about the same thing and don't have more to add to the advice I gave you then.

I’m really struggling now she dosent even want to sleep all night because all she wants to do is go to the toilet

Take her to the GP.

I have taken her gp did all checks like uti check up and diabetic test

Go back to the GP

How old is she?

She is 8 years old

My friends daughter did this. She was later diagnosed with OCD, but what helped at the time was popping her in a pull up.

My friend reassured her that she didn't need to go to the toilet all the time or worry about having an accident because if the worst happened, the pull up would catch it.

She encouraged her to drink loads and when her daughter saw that she wasn't having accidents (the pull up was dry) and that she was able to drink plenty, she got into a much better mindset.

It's important it's not seen as a punishment, more a medical device. Also being told it's all in her head won't help.

I also have OCD and sometimes when anxious feel like any little tickle means I need to go to the toilet, even if it's a few drops. This isn't good as it is bad for bladder control, so I don't allow myself.

But all this is to say it is a relatively common behaviour for some people. We just need to help children stop because they don't understand the wider impact.

(This advice is assuming there really is no medical issue).
