Your daughter's condition is quite unique. She has been bedwetting since childhood. From a Western medicine perspective, treating this condition may be quite challenging, and the effectiveness might not be ideal. However, the problem is not severe, making it a good decision to seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has a relative advantage in this case.From a TCM perspective, the underlying issue is likely a congenital deficiency with a foundation of kidney qi deficiency.
Recommendation: TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, so it would be best to provide more detailed information about your daughter's condition—such as whether she has good deep sleep. Based on the additional information collected, we can conduct a comprehensive analysis and adjust the herbal formula accordingly.
