Patient's question:
How to treat enuresis caused by sacral vertebral cryptomenia. The patient is male, 5 years old. He has been experiencing enuresis for a long time, with small urine volume and frequent urination. He frequently wets his pants during the day and night. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that he has a sacral vertebral cryptomenia. The sacral 1 and 2 arches are incomplete. What kind of help is needed: How should enuresis be treated? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
If a thorough check reveals that the child's urinary incontinence is caused by this sacral dysgenesis, it's important to pay attention. Try to avoid keeping the child in the same position for too long, such as standing, sitting, bending, or other movements, and also prevent intense exercise. If the condition is not severe, treatment may not be necessary. It could be that the child is too young, and it may improve as they grow older. However, it is crucial not to scold or criticize the child after each episode of incontinence. Such behavior will only increase their psychological stress, which will be of no help to the condition and may even worsen it.
