Patient's question:
How is the TCM treatment for bedwetting in children? The child is 5 years old and still wets the bed occasionally. They have tried changing lifestyle habits before bed, such as drinking less water and eating fewer fruits, but it hasn't worked at all. Now they want to use TCM methods for conservative treatment to help the child recover without pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a pleasure to answer your question for you: From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, bedwetting in children is considered a disease and functional disorder related to the Spleen and Kidney meridians. If a five-year-old child still experiences bedwetting, it is best to regulate their psychological state and the health of the Spleen and Kidney organs. When a child has a deficiency in the Spleen and Kidneys, it can lead to the Kidneys failing to hold urine, and the child's brain nerves being unable to control it, resulting in bedwetting. The treatment principle for this condition is to strengthen the Spleen and nourish the Kidneys.
