Patient's question:
My child is five years old and still wets the bed. Is this not normal? My neighbor said their child stopped wetting the bed by the age of three, and they even suggested we could try feeding our child some dog meat for this. I don't really believe in these home remedies, so I think it's better to ask a professional doctor. Could you please tell me what causes bedwetting in boys and if there are any treatments available?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Bedwetting in children may be due to the lack of a habit of self-voiding. Parents can call the child to urinate every three hours before going to sleep at night. Once the habit is formed, bedwetting will naturally stop. Alternatively, it could be due to urinary tract issues, such as urinary tract infections or urethral infections, etc. In this case, a detailed examination is needed to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.
