What causes bedwetting in a five-year-old child?

Patient's question:

My little niece at home is already 5 years old, but she still has symptoms of enuresis. She often wets the bed in the middle of the night. Because the child has wet the bed many times, she has been scolded quite a bit, but the habit of bedwetting hasn't changed. I'm worried that there might be something wrong with her kidneys. What causes enuresis in a 5-year-old child?

Doctor's answer:

If this is the child's regular bedwetting, please consider that it is closely related to the child's kidney and urinary system. In this case, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination. Medication treatment for the child is appropriate. At the same time, you should pay more attention to calling the child to the toilet at fixed times. In some cases, this can also bring about significant relief. On a daily basis, it is important to communicate with the child and avoid putting too much psychological pressure on him.
