He is over three years old and has been wetting his pants continuously at kindergarten this week.

However, he is normal at home and at night. I would like to consult about what could be causing this?

Doctor's answer:
Called urinary incontinence, it has multiple different contributing factors, such as intergenerational inheritance, incomplete bladder function, central nervous system disorders, abnormal excretion of antidiuretic hormone, and so on. Some cases of pediatric enuresis also involve organic diseases in various aspects, including endocrine, urological, neurological, psychological, and more.Recommendation: It is best to seek follow-up treatment and diagnosis at a reputable children's surgical hospital to identify the inflammatory factors. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial.
