Many things: affect frequency of urination, including amount and frequency of water intake, physical activity, and even the weather (the kidneys will adjust output if it is hot and you sweat more). Of course, some diseases, such as bladder infections, can increase urination, but usually would be associated with pain and burning with urination. If he develops these, see your doctor. Hope this helps!

See provider: Please have your son see his health care provider to check for an infection or a possible metabolic abnormality especially if he has not been drinking a lot more liquids recently.

Pollakiuria = extra-: ordinary daytime urinary frequency. See his pediatrician for exam for constipation & urinary tract problems. He'll give you a sterile cup & wipes to collect a clean-catch, 1st voided AM urine sample to check for abnormal concentration, sugar, protein,blood, & bacteria. If ok, see http://contemporarypediatrics.modernmedicine.com/contemporary-pediatrics/content/strategy-treat-pollakiuria?page=full.
