Urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. can cause urinary incontinence. Pus cells or a large number of white blood cells can be found under the urine microscope. In severe cases, there are symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning.

2. Urethral factors: If the patient has frequent urination but the amount of urine is not much each time, and he does not show any pain when urinating and has no other symptoms, local factors should be considered first, such as inflammation of the urethral orifice, excessive foreskin, or pinworm irritation to the genitals.

3. Dietary urinary incontinence: If you have frequent urination and a large amount of urine each time, but no other symptoms, you should first pay attention to whether you drink too much water, especially children who like sugary water are prone to urinary incontinence.

4. Neuroincontinence: In young children, the detrusor muscle of the bladder is underdeveloped and the nerves are not sound, so they may have daytime spot polyuria, up to 20 to 30 times, but normal urination at night. There is a tendency for recurring episodes, and urine tests are normal. This disease is not caused by inflammation.

5. Special diseases: If frequent urination is accompanied by large urine volume, and at the same time there is thirst, drinking more and weight loss, you should pay attention to check the urine. If the urine contains sugar, you should consider diabetes. If there is no sugar in the urine but the specific gravity is low, you should think of diabetes insipidus.
