Patient's question:
Is it a disease if an eight-year-old child often wets the bed at night? I haven't let him drink too much water in the evening. I haven't sought treatment yet. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting is a psychological factor and a disorder of the kidneys and bladder. If it is caused by a medical condition, the disease should be treated first. Once the disease factor is ruled out, if it is triggered by poor lifestyle habits, it is advisable to regularly consume foods that promote urination and support kidney function, such as lamb, dog meat, shrimp, etc. Medicinal porridge that strengthens the spleen and kidneys can also be beneficial. Avoid excessive salt or sugar in your diet, and avoid extremely cold foods. Limit the intake of soup, porridge, and beverages, as well as high-protein foods, for dinner. Reduce the amount of salt in your evening meals, drink less water, and consume less soup.
