Patient's question:
My son often wets the bed. Now that he's 9 years old, he still does it. I feel really helpless. During the day, he's fine, but only at night when he's sleeping. He says he dreams about the toilet and then takes off his pants and urinates, and surprisingly, he actually does. I'm asking, is it normal for young children to wet the bed frequently?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Bedwetting in such a young child is definitely considered abnormal, and it is mostly thought to be related to the child's underdeveloped nervous system. It is recommended to take the child to the neurology department of a hospital for examination. After completing the relevant tests, targeted symptomatic treatment can be provided. Do not let the child drink a lot of water before going to bed, and avoid putting the child in an excited state. Wake the child up at regular intervals each night to urinate. Through a period of training, this can help improve the condition.
