Patient's question:
When attending classes at school, I often wet my pants with urine; otherwise, everything is normal.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the Condition:Enuresis in children, also known as bedwetting, refers to a condition where children aged 3 to 5 years or older involuntarily urinate during sleep and only realize it upon waking. Enuresis should be defined as children aged 5 or older who experience at least one episode of bedwetting per week. Bedwetting that occurs only at night is generally a milder condition, while bedwetting during both day and night is typically more severe.
Guidance for Treatment:
Treatment should focus on strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the kidneys, supplemented with acupuncture and moxibustion, frequency-modulated instruments, cupping therapy, and other methods. Herbal decoctions should be administered to warm the kidneys, astringe urine, invigorate the spleen, replenish qi, and clear the liver of heat.
Prevention and Care Methods
(1) Cultivate the habit of urinating at regular times from a young age and avoid excessive fatigue.
(2) Actively prevent and treat underlying conditions that may cause enuresis.
(3) Reduce fluid intake and water consumption in the evening and before bedtime.
(4) Empty the bladder before sleep, monitor the timing of bedwetting, and wake the child at regular intervals for urination. Avoid causing the child to become anxious and foster their confidence in curing the condition.
(5) Pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding cold, raw, and overly heating foods.
