Patient's question:
I have a question that has been troubling me for a long time, and it's been particularly difficult for me. My child is now 6 years old, and he still wets the bed every night. I make sure not to let him drink too much water at night, but he doesn't seem to be aware of it and still wets the bed. At 6 years old, why does my child still wet the bed? What could be the cause of this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you: The bedwetting behavior the child is currently exhibiting is a habit problem caused by wearing diapers all the time when they were young. So you can set a schedule to wake him up for urination, and over time, it will gradually be corrected. Although you don't let him drink a lot of water, eating fruits and other things will also cause urination. So it's still better to wake him up on a schedule. Over time, he will get used to it.
