During the day, she can call out on her own, but at night, she is often asleep when she wets. Before 4 a.m., there are 3 to 4 instances where she is woken up to urinate, but she still wets the bed. What could be the problem?
Medical history and treatment effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: How can she be made to stop wetting the bed?

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of children wetting the bed, such as intergenerational genetic factors, diseases and physiological factors, and psychological factors, including excessive fatigue or excitement from playing during the day in children. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out organic diseases. Before taking a nap, prevent the child from getting overly excited. Encourage the child to empty their bladder before getting into bed for a nap. Parents should cultivate the habit of the child going to bed and urinating voluntarily.
