What's wrong with my 4.5-year-old child still wetting their pants?

Patient's question:

My daughter is four and a half years old. These past few days, she has been wetting her pants. She says she can't take off her pants in time when she urinates, and it has happened for two consecutive days. What's wrong? What kind of help is needed: Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and what kind of tests should be done?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description; as long as the daughter is 4 and a half years old, she has been wetting her pants for the past two days. She says she can't take off her pants when she urinates and it happened consecutively for two days. It's necessary to have a thorough examination at the hospital to rule out the possibility of vaginal adhesions. If there are no issues, drinking more water and taking absorbent and cooling medications should be sufficient.
Advice: Pay attention to enhancing nutrition and drinking more water. If the problem persists despite these measures, it may be due to other underlying conditions. A thorough examination at the hospital is recommended.
