Patient's question:
My child is almost 5 years old and always wets the bed. He always says he doesn't feel anything. About past treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you need: Could you please explain what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Most parents do not consider bedwetting in children to be a disease and do not require special treatment. Children under the age of 3.5 are considered normal, while bedwetting in children over 5 is considered a medical condition known as enuresis. Enuresis is more common in younger children. The younger the child, the less motivation parents have to seek medical help, which is due to the long-standing lack of correct understanding and sufficient attention to this condition in China. To this day, many parents still believe that the condition does not significantly affect the child and that it will eventually resolve on its own, thus abandoning the idea of seeking medical treatment.
