Patient's question:
My son is ten years old. When he was young, he often wet the bed. But even at ten, he still wets the bed. I want to ask you what causes him to wet the bed so often. What is the reason for wetting the bed at ten? Is it because of what he eats or something else? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, bedwetting in children over the age of five is considered abnormal. Persistent bedwetting in children aged five or older is a condition that requires treatment. If a child aged five or older experiences multiple episodes of unconscious nighttime urination, occurring more than twice a week and lasting for six months or longer, without such occurrences during waking hours, this clinical condition is known as primary nocturnal enuresis. It is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly.
