Patient's question:
During the day, the child does not wet the bed but urinates once at night, but the amount is not significant. It is a bit difficult to wake them up at night. After the age of two, there has been no previous treatment or improvement. Regardless of what kind of assistance is provided: Is this condition considered enuresis? What should be done? Which department should be visited at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition can be diagnosed as enuresis. Suggestions: Generally speaking, by the age of one or one and a half, babies can control urination at night, and bedwetting has significantly decreased. However, some children may still need to hold back urine during the day even after turning two or two and a half, and they still frequently wet the bed at night. This is still considered a normal phenomenon. The vast majority of children stop bedwetting at night after the age of three. However, if bedwetting persists after the age of three, occurring more than twice a month, it is no longer normal. In medicine, bedwetting is referred to as "nocturnal enuresis" or "night."
