Abstract

Background: Infrequent voiding is one of the most common problems in pediatrics which its etiology has not been fully known. In some studies, children with infrequent voiding have slower linear growth in comparison with normal population. The aim of this study was to compare the growth and development in children with infrequent voiding and normal children.Methods: In this case-control study, 100 six-year-old children suffering from infrequent voiding were entered. They were compared with healthy age-matched children using Ages and stages questionnaire (ASQ).Findings: The case group has significantly more disorders in personal-social skills such as problem solving, communication, and language development. Moreover, the stature and weight of children with infrequent voiding were significantly less and their body mass index (BMI) and weight were more significantly more than control group.Conclusion: Due to infrequent growth disorders in children with infrequent voiding, we suggest to treat them with greater effort. In addition, with proportioning of weight and BMI, we can apply to treat the growth disorders much better.
