Patient's question:
The child is four years old and only has the issue of bedwetting. It's not every day; it happens occasionally. Sometimes, she seems to realize that it's uncomfortable after wetting the bed and turns over to sleep elsewhere, focusing on her sleep. Even though she was told before taking a nap that she should go to bed to use the bathroom, she still wet the bed.What kind of assistance is needed: How can a four-year-old girl be treated for bedwetting?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, after the age of 2-3, children gradually stop bedwetting. Under normal circumstances, they sleep through the night without waking up, or they occasionally call for an adult to use the toilet if they drink too much water at night. Therefore, if a child wets the bed, there is usually a trigger. It is important to distinguish between functional and organic inflammation. Functional inflammation can be completely cured with medication, while organic inflammation requires identifying the underlying cause and treating any diseases that do not cause bedwetting. Only then will the bedwetting symptoms be resolved. However, organic diseases are uncommon, and functional enuresis tends to recur more often. Director Qi from Shijiazhuang Jinghe Hospital reminds parents to pay attention to understanding their child's enuresis problem correctly.
