Patient's question:
At night, he often needs to be woken up to urinate, otherwise he might wet the bed. During playtime, he also wets his pants. What symptom does this belong to? How should it be treated or what should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Bedwetting is known as enuresis. It refers to the unconscious inability of children aged 3 and older to control urination after falling asleep. Habitual enuresis can weaken children. It affects physical health and intellectual development. Frequent bedwetting can also bring trouble to the family. There are two types of enuresis in children. One is functional enuresis. The other is organic enuresis. Most bedwetting in children is functional enuresis. Its cause is a dysfunction of the higher central nervous system in the cerebral cortex. Common reasons include psychological factors, such as excessive fatigue, mental tension, sudden fear, fear and shyness, adaptation to a new environment, and a lack of nighttime urination habits in early childhood.
