Patient's question:
Medical Description: My sister's son is already eight years old and about to enter second grade, but he still wets the bed every night. Moreover, his personality is extremely difficult. When playing with other children, he treats them like toys, hitting them. He doesn't listen to a word adults say. Every time he sees him get beaten by his parents and covered in bruises, he won't admit his mistake. It's both heart-wrenching and infuriating to watch. My sister and sister-in-law have already given up and have no idea what to do.Past Treatment and Effects: No treatment has been administered.
Desired Help: How can he be helped to change?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on what you've described, it may be a manifestation caused by kidney qi deficiency. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the kidneys and bladder are considered to be paired organs. If there is insufficient yang qi in the kidneys, the bladder becomes weak, which can lead to the symptoms you've mentioned.For this condition, you can adopt measures to warm the yang and replenish qi to regulate your health. It is recommended to visit a TCM department in the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can take Chinese herbal medicine for a period of time to help regulate your condition.
As for older children who still wet the bed, it is primarily due to underdeveloped brain function. It is suggested that you limit their fluid intake in the evening, allow them to stay up a bit later, and ensure they urinate before bed. For some people, this condition may improve as they age.
I recommend reducing your child's fluid intake in the evening, getting them accustomed to being woken up for a bathroom break at night, and ensuring they don't become overly tired during the day.
