How to treat bedwetting in a six-year-old child?

Patient's question:

My sister's baby is now 6 years old. Previously, there were no major issues, but recently, she has been bedwetting without knowing why. There is no sense of awareness, which greatly affects sleep quality and makes it difficult to concentrate on studying. How can bedwetting in a 6-year-old child be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Children of this age who wet the bed should be observed to see if it's a situation that only occurs after starting school. If so, then the mom should talk with the child to understand the reason and not be too anxious, as this may scare the child. A change in school environment can also be a factor. Avoid giving the child too much water in the evening and ensure they urinate before bed. If this happens frequently, it's recommended to check for the underlying cause.
