Patient's question:
My son is ten years old and still occasionally wets the bed. I don't dare give him too much water before bed. I took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said everything is normal. Sometimes, when I ask him why he doesn't get up to urinate, he says he wet the bed in his dream and just did it. It's so frustrating. I'd like to ask how to treat bedwetting in a ten-year-old boy?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis is what we commonly call bedwetting. It is an involuntary urination behavior during sleep in children. This condition can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary enuresis occurs without any organic abnormalities, while secondary enuresis is caused by other diseases. It is necessary to first diagnose whether it is primary enuresis. Treatment can include general treatment, behavioral therapy, medication, and physical therapy.
