Patient's question:
A four-year-old boy always wets the bed at night, and sometimes he also wets his pants. What can we do! In the past two days, our little one has been wetting his pants frequently. When I ask him when it happened, he says, "I don't know." It's really frustrating. He's already five years old this year.Doctor's answer:
Children and adults over 18 years old who unconsciously urinate during sleep are called enuresis or nocturnal enuresis. It has a family tendency. However, Western medicine has not yet found genetic evidence. Daytime urination frequency, degree of urinary urgency, amount of urine per urination, and nighttime bedwetting. We believe there is no direct relationship between hidden spinal cord defects and enuresis. A small number of people with hidden spinal cord defects have symptoms of bedwetting, and most are asymptomatic. No treatment is needed. It has no impact on health. At night. Often wake up. Drink a lot of water to train the bladder.
