Patient's question:
When I went to bed in the morning, I noticed a large wet patch on my child's bed. I asked him what was wrong, and he lowered his head and said, "I wet the bed." I asked him why he didn't come down to use the bathroom, and he said he didn't know. "Did you drink a lot of water last night?" I asked. He replied, "I drink water every night."What kind of assistance is needed: What is going on with a ten-year-old child who still wets the bed in the middle of the night?
Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting is a medical condition known as enuresis. There are three main reasons for children wetting the bed: 1. Weak spleen and stomach, functional disorders leading to endocrine imbalance in bladder gasification function, often partiality to food, poor appetite, and frequent fever; 2. Underdeveloped central nervous system, inability to transmit urination signals to the brain in a timely manner, often deep sleep, difficulty waking up, hyperactivity, and poor concentration; 3. Underdeveloped bladder sphincter function, poor urination ability, often small urine volume, daytime urinary frequency, and urgency. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment.
