What Causes Frequent Urination In A Child?

Hello we have a 5 year old daughter who is urinating very often 4-5 times per hour at times and sometimes 2 times per hour. Her urine samples have shown no infection, blood etc. One sample was sent out for a culture and still showed no problem. She doesn't complain of pain or pee while sleeping. Are we being paranoid? I fear a growth or the C word. The doctor doesn't seem to concerned at this point and obvious knows more about this than us.
