Patient's question:
My son is 6 and a half years old. He was recently diagnosed with childhood tics. Sometimes during the day, he cannot control his urination and wets his pants. Is this bedwetting? What medicine should he take, and where can it be bought?Doctor's answer:
For a long time, many parents do not consider bedwetting a disease. They believe it is because the child is tired from playing, has drunk too much water, or has been working hard, thinking the child is lazy and hasn't developed good habits. Moreover, due to the long-term care of the child, parents become exhausted and scold or beat the child. In reality, bedwetting is primarily caused by the dysfunction of the central nervous system that controls urination and the lack of proper neural control.
