What causes bedwetting in children and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 9 years old. Since he was born until now, whether it's nap time or nighttime sleep, he has never woken up by himself to urinate. I always have to call him, and even help him up, otherwise he's too groggy to even stand on his own.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Hello, the inability to consciously urinate during nighttime urination is due to one reason being the underdevelopment of the urinary system, and the other reason is because the child sleeps very soundly.
Suggestions:
This is not a serious condition, so there is no need to worry too much. You can take some medications that promote the development of the urinary system, such as Zhibai Dihuang Wan, etc. Avoid intentionally waking the child up to urinate during the day. Wishing you good health!
