Patient's question:
My daughter is almost four years old, but she always wets the bed at night and doesn't wake up even when called. Sometimes during the day, she also wets her pants when watching intense cartoons. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but I want to ask if there are any methods to help her stop wetting the bed.Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting, also known as enuresis, refers to the inability of children over the age of 3 to control urination after falling asleep, resulting in unconscious bedwetting. Habitual enuresis can weaken the child, affect physical health and intellectual development. If it is caused by a medical condition, the condition should be treated first. After ruling out medical factors, the enuresis may be triggered by poor lifestyle habits. Reduce the amount of salt in dinner, limit water and soup intake; prevent children from becoming overly excited before bed; and train them to empty their bladders before going to sleep.
