What is the reason why a nine-year-old girl still often wets the bed?

Patient's question:

I have always wet the bed since I was a child. I thought it would get better as I grew older, but recently I've been wetting the bed frequently. There is no disease associated with her symptoms, and it might be slightly hereditary.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't seen a doctor yet. What kind of help is needed: I hope that through the doctor's medical expertise, she can be cured of this condition.

Doctor's answer:

First and foremost, it's important to rule out issues related to the lumbar and sacral spine when dealing with children's enuresis. If there are no organic inflammatory conditions, it is often caused by excessive daytime exercise, excitement, or fatigue leading to deep nighttime sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is commonly believed that the causes include kidney deficiency, Qi deficiency, and coldness in the bladder. Establishing a good sleep schedule and behavioral habits, urinating before bed, and reducing fluid intake are recommended. Parents should pay attention to their children's psychological issues, avoid scolding or punishing them excessively, and reduce psychological stress. Additionally, it is advised to visit a regular traditional Chinese medicine hospital for syndrome differentiation and herbal treatment.
