How to deal with the child's severe bedwetting at night for more than a year?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing severe bedwetting for over a year! It mostly happens between 11 PM and 12 AM. Calling the child to bed and asking them to go to the toilet doesn't wake them up! They also have racing thoughts before bed, scaring themselves, and feel sad.

Doctor's answer:

Below five years of age, if there is recurrent uncontrolled urination, enuresis should be considered. For this condition, the best approach is to have a thorough examination at the hospital. If it is primary enuresis, it is necessary to train the child as much as possible to develop good urination and defecation habits, which can gradually return to normal. If it is secondary enuresis, the underlying cause needs to be addressed to achieve significant stabilization of urinary symptoms.
