Patient's question:
My son is now eight years old and in second grade, but he still wets the bed every night. I took him to the hospital before, and the doctor prescribed some medication, but after taking it for a while, he still wets the bed. What could be the reason for wetting the bed at eight years old?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: The child is 8 years old and still bedwetting. This is not normal. The most common causes are hidden spinal cord defects, chronic cystitis, and brain developmental issues, all of which can lead to bedwetting. This can have a certain impact on the body, so it's necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible for a comprehensive examination. If the child has a hidden spinal cord defect, surgical treatment is recommended for better disease control.
