Patient's question:
I see my neighbor sister washing her bed sheets every now and then. It's acceptable when it's sunny, but sometimes she still washes them on rainy days. Later, when he came to my house to play, I asked him why. He told me that his seven-year-old child still wets the bed. Please ask. Is it normal for a seven-year-old boy to still wet the bed?Doctor's answer:
A normal seven-year-old child should not wet the bed anymore. It may be a case of enuresis. It is recommended to check with a local hospital for a proper diagnosis. Once the condition is clear, the best treatment can be administered. In daily life, it is important to prevent the child from becoming overly excited before bed and to develop the habit of emptying the bladder before going to sleep. Additionally, allowing the child to hold urine during the day can also be a method. Whenever the urge to urinate arises, actively control the urge and temporarily hold back. Initially, this can be done by postponing urination for a few minutes, gradually increasing the duration over time. Give it a try!
