What is the reason why a 9-year-old child still wets the bed?

Patient's question:

The child is 9 years old. Recently, for the past three or four months, they have been wetting the bed frequently, about two or three times a week. Is this a medical condition?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, parents. Enuresis refers to a condition where a child, after the age of two, is unable to control their urination during sleep and wets the bed. In the eyes of many parents, bedwetting in children is a common occurrence and does not warrant their attention. However, children who still wet the bed after the age of two actually suffer from enuresis.
Parents should take this seriously and take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. Do not delay the child's health.
