Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 and a half years old. She often wets the bed. Last night, she drank 80 milliliters of formula and went to sleep at 10:30. I came down to wake her up for the bathroom at 12:00. I called her down twice, but she didn’t wake up. Then she immediately wet the bed. I called her again to use the bathroom, but around 2:00 AM, I saw her moving a bit and called her, but she didn’t wake up properly. A minute later, she wet the bed again. This has happened before too. Sometimes, even when I don’t let her drink water at night, she still wets the bed. I always wake her up at 12:00 every night. Once, she didn’t sleep until 11:00 PM, went to the bathroom before bed, but still wet the bed at 12:00 AM. She seems to be in good health, and she’s tall. She doesn’t nap during the day.Previous Treatment and Effects:
- Took Diuretic (4 times).
- Liver and kidney function tests, and urinalysis were normal.

Doctor's answer:
Urinary incontinence in children is often caused by excessive daytime exercise or excessive fluid intake at night. Short sleep duration is also a factor.Recommendations:
It is suggested that you avoid letting your child play too hard during the day and minimize fluid intake at night. Encourage early bedtime, ideally around 8 PM. If you consistently remind them to go to the bathroom, it will eventually become a habit. If this doesn’t work, you can consider using a product like "Urinex" (a common urinary incontinence treatment).
