What is the reason for a six-year-old boy to wet the bed?

Patient's question:

Generally, it happens around 5 or 6 in the morning. If you drink soup for dinner, it's about 70% likely to wet the bed. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Tried Chinese medicine once, but it wasn't very effective. What kind of help do you want: Don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

After the age of 5, if a child still wets the bed at night and does so more than twice a month, this is medically referred to as "nocturnal enuresis." It may be caused by excessive drowsiness during naps, making it difficult to wake up when urine is present. It is recommended to avoid overexertion during the day, as this can also lead to bedwetting if the child sleeps too deeply at night and does not wake up when urine is present. Additionally, it is important to avoid drinking too much fluid before bedtime to reduce nighttime urine output.
