Why do 5-year-old children always wet the bed

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she feels dizzy and has a headache. The key is, I don't know what's wrong, but she just seems a bit unwell. Why do 5-year-old children always wet the bed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is about bedwetting. We need to rule out hidden spinal cord defects. If there are no abnormalities, you can exercise the bladder machine during the day. One hour before bedtime, avoid drinking water or beverages. For now, we can try the alarm therapy. It might be a bit troublesome for the adults, but try to wake the child up 5 minutes before they wet the bed. Remember to make sure they are conscious before urinating. Most cases will improve on their own. If it doesn’t work, we can consider medication.
We know that psychological harm to children can be significant. If the condition is not treated promptly or if the wrong treatment method is used, it can progress rapidly and cause great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek timely medical treatment.
