Infrequent Voiding Infrequent voiding refers to a child's voluntarily holding urine for prolonged intervals. For example, a child may not want to use the toilets at school or may not want to interrupt enjoyable activities, so he or she ignores the body's signal of a full bladder. In these cases, the bladder can overfill and leak urine. Some of the same factors that contribute to nighttime incontinence may act together with infrequent voiding to produce daytime incontinence. Sometimes overly strenuous toilet training may make the child unable to relax the sphincter and the pelvic floor to completely empty the bladder.
Most urinary incontinence fades away naturally.
Natural body alarms become activated. An overactive bladder settles down. Production of ADH becomes normal. The child learns to respond to the body's signal that it is time to void. Stressful events or periods pass.
