Patient's question:
The baby is two years old. Previously, they always had urine but never wet their pants. In the past week, they have been wetting their pants every day, only mentioning it when they have a bowel movement. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it is not a urinary tract infection or neurogenic urinary frequency. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Neurogenic enuresis is a common pediatric urinary disease, with patients typically aged between 2 and 11 years, most commonly occurring in preschool children. Its characteristic symptoms include frequent urination, occurring every 2 to 10 minutes, and the child experiencing a strong urge to urinate, unable to hold it for even half a moment. The first step is to remain calm and have a good talk with the child. This will prevent them from becoming overly anxious and will reduce the constant urge to urinate. When you notice the child has wet their pants again, avoid scolding them—simply change them into clean clothes.
