Patient's question:
A 4-year-old girl still wets the bed at night. She was a bit better after acupuncture, but then it returned to the same state. What should be done?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: She had acupuncture.
What kind of help is needed: Should any further examinations be conducted?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended to strictly prohibit children from drinking water after dinner, ensure they urinate before going to bed, and wake them up 1-2 times during the night to go to bed and urinate. Apply a warm to the Shenque acupoint (navel), one patch per night. It is also suggested to buy a timed alarm clock to remind them to urinate. If the condition does not improve after treatment, and the child still wets the bed at night with more than two occurrences per month, it is recommended to have them checked at the hospital for the possibility of hidden spinal cord injury.
