What department should I go to for pediatric enuresis?

Patient's question:

Bedwetting at night
Since childhood until now, the reason is unknown.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Your child may have nocturnal enuresis.
Suggestions:
It is recommended to train your child to urinate at regular times, especially at night, with efforts to keep them awake. For older children, setting an alarm clock at a fixed time to wake them up for urination can help establish a conditioned reflex.
Avoid excessive fatigue during the day, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and go to bed early. After falling asleep, the bladder stores a certain amount of urine within 3 hours, and this is often when sleep is deepest. It can be difficult for the child to wake up on their own, so parents should wake them once before bed to prevent bedwetting.
Avoid overly salty dinners, and reduce the intake of sweet foods and high-protein beverages after dinner to prevent thirst. Encourage your child to drink more water during the day, but limit fluid intake, such as water, milk, and other drinks, after dinner. Fruits can be consumed instead.
At the same time, parents should remind the child to get up and urinate at night. Praise and encourage the child for progress to help build their confidence.
