Patient's question:
My son is already over five years old this year and has already enrolled in the senior class of kindergarten. However, he still has the habit of wetting the bed. The school teachers have been coming to our house to do some ideological work, but no matter how many times I have explained it, the child always cannot break this bad habit. What is the reason why the child always wets the bed?Doctor's answer:
A disease condition where children aged 3 and above experience involuntary urination during deep sleep, only realizing it upon waking. The recurrence of this condition is due to the child's underdeveloped intellect and lack of established normal urination habits, resulting in an inability to independently control urination. Generally, enuresis is often associated with coldness in the stomach and bladder. During the day, encourage the child to drink more water. When they feel the urge to urinate, have them hold it in, with each hold lasting no more than 30 minutes. Conduct this training 1-2 times daily to expand the bladder, enhance its capacity, and thereby increase nighttime urination frequency. The above suggestions are in response to the question, "Are there any special training methods for children who wet the bed?" and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
