Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. I'm saying this, and maybe no one will believe it, but he still wets the bed. My friend's child stopped wetting the bed after being two or three years old. At first, I thought he was drinking too much water, but even after reducing his water intake, the bed-wetting still occurred. Is it normal for an 8-year-old child to still wet the bed?Doctor's answer:
If an 8-year-old child still needs to wet the bed, it is not normal, because by the age of 3, he should know that getting up and urinating will not cause bedwetting. It is recommended that you rule out the possibility that the child's daily routine is too exhausting, which may make it difficult for him to get up and urinate at night. You should drink less water and eat fewer water-rich fruits before bed. You can also set an alarm clock at night to wake the child up on time for urination, which is the best way to help him develop a habit.
