How to treat nocturnal enuresis in children?

Patient's question:

Took some regulating traditional Chinese medicine and physical therapy for brain nerves, but the effect is not good, now wake up every night on schedule for urination, still enuresis

Doctor's answer:

Enuresis is mostly self-curing. It is relatively rare for children to still have severe enuresis at the age of 12, but it does not necessarily indicate an abnormality. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital to rule out any exceptions. If pathological causes are ruled out, it should still be considered as physiological enuresis, and intervention should primarily focus on lifestyle habits.
Key points:
1. Cultivate good sleep habits, ensure sufficient sleep, go to bed early and wake up early, and avoid negative stimuli before sleep; do not get overly excited.
2. Control fluid intake before dinner and before going to bed, and urinate before sleeping.
3. Persist in scheduled wake-up urination, preferably with an effective alarm. If bedwetting occurs multiple times, wake up more than once.
4. Do not have unnecessary worries, especially for children. Tell them it is not a disease and do not let them carry psychological burdens, as this may affect treatment effectiveness.
You can ask your parents if you have similar experiences. A significant portion of enuresis has genetic factors. If so, it can be a great comfort to everyone.
