Patient's question:
Medical Description: My child is 9 and a half years old. Every night, he must be woken up by an adult to urinate. If he is not woken up, he will wet the bed. Sometimes, even when he is called, he does not wake up. It takes one or two calls each night. Medical history and effectiveness: He has taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but the effect is not very significant. What kind of help do you want: How should I treat him?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the Condition: Hello: The child's condition is enuresis, which typically refers to involuntary urination during sleep in children. If there are no obvious urinary tract or neurological organic lesions, it is called primary enuresis. Note whether there are genetic factors.Suggestions: First, do not blame your child. Instead, offer encouragement to help her develop the determination to overcome enuresis. Parents should show high concern and love for their child. After dinner, avoid drinking water, and ensure the child urinates before bed. Wake the child up to urinate 12 times during the night. During the day, advise the child to extend the time interval between urinations gradually, from every 1-2 hours to every 3-4 hours, to increase bladder capacity.
Medication: You can use parasympathetic nervous system blockers such as propantheline or hydroxyzine (Urodol). Take orally before bedtime to promote relaxation of the urinary muscles and inhibit bladder contraction.
Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
