What is the reason for bedwetting at the age of 4?

Patient's question:

My child is already 4 years old. He still wets the bed at night. Children of the same age as him have long outgrown diapers. Why does my child still wet the bed at night? Why doesn't he call for Mom and Dad when he needs to use the bathroom urgently? What is the reason for bedwetting at 4 years old?

Doctor's answer:

In this situation, moms shouldn't worry too much. Since the child is still quite young, if the parents don't guide them, the child won't ask to be taken to the bathroom when they need to use the toilet. Moms should train the child in this regard or teach them through videos. When it's time to sleep, moms shouldn't give the child too much water. Before bed, let the child go to the bathroom first. If this happens frequently, it's a good idea to take the child to a doctor to check for any other discomforts.
