Patient's question:
My child is over 6 years old. Sometimes, when sleeping at night, urine accumulates in their shorts. What could be the reason?Past treatment and effectiveness: The child was examined at the hospital and given medication for washing, but it had no effect.
What kind of help is desired: I want to understand what condition causes the child to accumulate urine.
Doctor's answer:
Accumulation of urine can be caused by conditions such as external genital infection, urinary tract infection, urethritis, bladder stones, etc. It is also related to mental factors and abnormal regulation of bladder nerve function. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a local reputable large hospital for a follow-up examination to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Develop good urination habits, drink more water regularly, and prevent urinary tract infections. If the condition persists, you should consult a pediatric urology department for a follow-up examination to rule out any congenital abnormalities in the urinary system.
