Type of assistance desired: We want to ask the doctor how to treat it.
Doctor's answer:
The causes of bedwetting in children are divided into functional and organic. The former is related to intergenerational inheritance and is more common in neurotic children. The latter is a symptom of certain diseases. Congenital brain development disorders or functional disturbances of the brain caused by various factors in later life, or the loss of reflex arcs in the spinal cord, or lesions in the urinary system and its surrounding structures, may all lead to bedwetting. Before the age of 3, due to the underdevelopment of central urinary function, the occurrence of reflexive urination is not considered a disease.
