Patient's question:
A three-year-old child can urinate by themselves, but recently, they have suddenly been wetting the bed for over 10 days. Every day, we have to wash the sheets and dry the blankets, which is very painful. In fact, to prevent them from wetting the bed, we usually ask them to urinate once before going to bed, but it still happens. What could be the reason for a three-year-old suddenly wetting the bed for over 10 days?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, children can control urination at night by the age of one or one and a half, and bedwetting will be significantly reduced. Most children stop wetting the bed at night after the age of three. If a child still frequently wets the bed after the age of three, it should be a cause for concern. To avoid bedwetting at night, first, do not let them drink too many drinks before bed; second, remind them to go to the bathroom before sleeping; third, avoid putting too much psychological pressure on them.
