Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why do babies urinate excessively?Doctor's answer:
After the age of 3, occasional bedwetting is also normal, medically known as physiological enuresis. Most children generally stop bedwetting at night after the age of 5. If a child still wets the bed at night after the age of 5, and the frequency exceeds twice a month, it is medically referred to as "nocturnal enuresis." In such cases, it is recommended to first check for the possibility of a hidden spinal defect. Additionally, it is important to avoid excessive fatigue during the day, as this can make it difficult to wake up if urine is present during deep sleep, leading to bedwetting. Of course, it is also important to avoid drinking too much fluid before bedtime to reduce nighttime urine output. It is also recommended to buy a timed alarm clock to schedule regular bathroom trips.
