Causes of bedwetting in children, how to treat it?

Patient's question:

Age and condition description: Male patient, 9 years old, good physical condition, has been ill since birth, poor appetite. No history of treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment has been received. What kind of help is desired: Seek the cause of bedwetting and effective treatment methods.

Doctor's answer:

Bedwetting in children refers to the inability of children aged 5 or older to control their urination, often wetting their beds at night and sometimes wetting their pants during the day. In most cases, bedwetting is not related to any medical condition but is caused by psychological factors or other various factors. Bedwetting can make the child feel ashamed, anxious, fearful, and withdrawn. If parents resort to methods such as hitting, advising, threatening, or punishing, it can make the child feel even more hurt and depressed, increase their psychological burden, and not only fail to alleviate the symptoms but also worsen them. We believe that when treating children with enuresis, treatment should only be conducted under conditions of comfort and encouragement, and this is extremely important.
