Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bowel Movements In Child
My 5 year old grand child (female) is CONSTANTLY going to the potty. She truly does void when she goes but it is causing her to not be able to go to sleep because she has to get up and down so often. She probably goes an average of 15 to 20 times a day. Once she is sleeping, she sleeps through the night without having to get up to urinate. She has been checked for UTI and all seems clear. We have been led to believe it is probably a nervous bladder and caused from stress. She has been through a lot with her parents divorcing and moving, etc. What can we do to help her? Is there any medication I can get for her to help her:

Hi...this is fitting into a textbook description of "DYSFUNCTIONAL VOIDING". She would need to be evaluated by a urologist and she would need a ultrasound abdomen too. The condition I am referring to will cause thickened bladder wall, which will develop an urge for the kid to frequently urinate.
This can be managed medically but before using medication, we need to confirm the diagnosis.
