Patient's question:
My child is over 18 years old, and recently, they have been wetting their pants. Before, this didn't happen again, but now they often forget to use the bathroom. They need constant reminders, or if they're focused on doing something, they hold it in until they can't anymore, and then they wet their pants.Doctor's answer:
A three-year-old child has already begun to show an active awareness of urinating and needs special training from family members to develop bathroom habits. Do not scold or tease the child for wetting their pants, as this may reinforce such behavior. Some children may do this due to psychological effects or fear. It is absolutely necessary to avoid making the child overly excited, engaging in intense physical activity, or watching thrilling and suspenseful movies to prevent excessive stimulation.
