Patient's question:
3-5 nighttime urinations at night, the child doesn't know he's awakeDoctor's answer:
After the age of 3, occasional bedwetting is also normal, medically known as physiological enuresis.Recommendation: Most children stop bedwetting at night after the age of 5. If a child still wets the bed at night after the age of 5, and the frequency is more than twice a month, it is medically referred to as "nocturnal enuresis." In such cases, it is recommended to first check for the possibility of a hidden spinal defect. Additionally, be mindful not to overexert during the day, as excessive fatigue at night can make it difficult to wake up when urine is produced, leading to bedwetting. It is also important to avoid drinking too much fluid before bedtime to reduce nighttime urine output. Furthermore, it is advisable to purchase a timed alarm clock to schedule regular bathroom trips.
