Frequent Urination

Hi, my son is 8yrs. old, and has SPD. A little over a year ago, he started having to urinate alot. He is seeing a urologist, and they can't figure out what the problem is. He's been tested for urinary tract infections and diabetes and the tests come back negative. He has also had a sonogram, and several x-rays that have come back negative also.

He does have Encopresis, which we thought could be the problem but the sonogram and x-rays showed that nothing is pressing on his bladder. He doesn't wet the bed, and never gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but is running to the bathroom all day.

Today, I wrote down every time he went to the bathroom, and it went from every two to three minutes all day and this is before he's had any fluids. Has anyone experienced this problem before, any advice would be appreciated. Thank You.

Does your child have any other behavioral issues? Like rages or tics? You should look into an autoimmune disorder called PANDAS. Both SPD and frequen urination are 2 symptoms of PANDAS. My dd has PANDAS and we started with the SPD diagnosis and went from there.

Good luck to you.

My 10 yr old autistic son had some of the same symptoms. Until it got progressively worse over this summer. I thought of it as an escape behavior and also a perseveration until I took him to see the urologist and researched that he had phimosis. Because of the foreskin creating an irritation he had the sensation he needed to urinate more often and thus needed to be circumsized. He got it done this summer. Now he pees good long pees and don't get me wrong sometimes he is in bed at night and he gets out repeatedly to go to the toilet. wets his underwear a little but it's more or less him trying to get used to this new sensation. and sometimes he's waiting for sister to go to bed. He'd go very often as well....Ohh and to top it off he has 3 kidneys! No wonder right?
