Patient's question:
I can't quite put it into words, maybe no one will believe it, but my son is already 13 years old this year, yet he still occasionally wets the bed. The child himself has become very self-conscious about it and is worried that it might lead to physical conditions if it continues. So, I'd like to get him treated for it. Which department should I consult for bedwetting?Doctor's answer:
Children who experience bedwetting can visit a pediatrician or urologist for examination. The causes of this condition may include urinary tract infections, excessive fright, excessive fatigue, or poor bladder development, among others. Imaging tests, urine routine tests, and urodynamic tests may be required for differential diagnosis. It is important to comfort the child, avoid scolding, and alleviate their psychological stress. Wishing you good health.
