Patient's question:
My granddaughter is 6 years old. How can I deal with her wetting her pants every day while taking a nap at kindergarten? She has frequent urination with small amounts, and doesn't drink much water daily. Onset time: Several years ago. Examination results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: She has taken traditional Chinese medicine. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello doctor, what is the illness? Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis in children refers to the involuntary leakage of urine during deep sleep, which is only realized upon waking. This condition is more common in children aged 3 to 18, with most cases occurring in those under 13. It can also persist into adulthood. If a child under 3 experiences bedwetting due to incomplete intellectual and physical development, unestablished bathroom habits, or as a result of emotional distress, excessive play, or fatigue, it is not considered a medical condition. However, if a child between 3 and 5 years old still cannot control their urination during sleep, it should be treated as enuresis. It is classified into primary and secondary types.
