What is the reason why a six-year-old child always wets the bed at night?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if a child still wets the bed at night after the age of 5, and the frequency reaches 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. It is best to take X-rays of the lumbar and sacral spine to see if there is a hidden spinal defect, as patients with this condition are more likely to experience similar symptoms. Treatment requires symptomatic medication.
