Daughter is over four years old and wets the bed several times every night. How can this be resolved?

Patient's question:

My daughter is over four years old and wets the bed many times every night. What could be the reason? About her past treatment history and effectiveness: She has never been treated. What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, children usually start suppressing urination at the age of 3-4. If they still frequently wet the bed after the age of 5-6, such as twice a week or more, lasting for 6 months, it is medically referred to as "enuresis." Your child, being over four years old, is still considered normal.
Recommendation: It's time to cultivate your child's habit of going to bed and urinating consciously. Before sleep, remind your child to silently recite, "I will go to the bathroom at x o'clock tonight." Parents can also wake their child up before the usual time they wet the bed, allowing them to urinate while awake. Reduce the amount of salt in dinner, limit water and soup intake.
