Patient's question:
My child is already 7 years old, but he still wets the bed at night. When I ask him, he says he doesn't, but as soon as he turns over, he wets the bed. Also, recently he has been urinating frequently and urgently during the day. I want to consult a doctor to see if my child might have enuresis. What are the symptoms of enuresis?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. The current symptoms your child is experiencing may also be caused by a urinary tract infection. You can take her to a reputable local hospital's urology department for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. At night, avoid giving the baby water before going to bed, and try to eat less soup-based foods for dinner. Additionally, it is best to wake the child up every three hours during the night to urinate, helping them develop the habit of self-urination.
