Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. It could be a presentation of anxiety and attention seeking. That may cause her to go to the urine frequently. You may try propranolol 20\u00a0mg in the morning or clonazepam 0.5\u00a0mg at night to reduce her anxiety. Another possibility is a urinary tract infection. UTI can also lead to frequent urges to pass urine. This can be confirmed after doing a UTI screen. Antibiotics can help in such cases. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
