Frequent Urination in 3-Year-old Boy

My youngest son is now 8, and we had an issue like this for a long time also. (especially on road trips) He'd have to go so we'd take him, then about 5 minutes later he'd have to go again. We went to the doctor to make sure everything was ok, that there were no infections, or anything like that, and everything checked out OK. Over the last couple of years, he's decided he didn't like to wear underwear, and since he stopped (unless he's playing sports) we haven't had any issues. When I asked the doctor about this he said some kids react strongly to the sensation of underwear, and it gives them the feeling they have to go more often than they really do, and sometimes the elastic band sits just perfectly causing pressure on the bladder. I know it's frustrating, but take a deep breath, it will all work out in the end.

I would take him to a urologist. When I was little I urinated frequently too - and also not much at a time. It's possible that his urethra is not completely developed, therefore not fully emptying his bladder when he does go potty. (This was my problem - and the fix was a simple out-patient procedure). Hope that helps!

Hey I do that to after drinking water and I 34. I would check and make sure that his underwear aren't to tight. My 4 year old son Addison has lots of accidents and this is the 1st thing that I check It has stopped ever time I moved him up a size. This might help.

My son went through some of this not too long ago, and with him, it was an attention getter to say that he needed to go potty, we would distract him by doing something else for a while and not letting him go until he was ready to let it all out at once, he has calmed this down quite a bit, but sometimes when he gets bored he will still resort to this. For the most part, he only has to "mark his territory" when we are in a store, even if he has just gone, he suddenly has to go to the bathroom again. This is why we call it marking his territory he has to stop at every public restroom there is to go......sorry for rambling on...hope something I said helps

This happened to us too. All of a sudden my daughter was going to bathroom every five minutes. We took her to the Dr as well and everything was OK. They said that it is a phase that a lot of children go through. And when I googled it sure enough there were a ton of articles talking about it. It lasted a few weeks and then stopped. Hope this helps!
