Patient's question:
My daughter is six years old. However, at the age of six, she still wets the bed at night. I have observed her for several nights, and before she goes to sleep, she is always in a half-asleep, half-awake state. I would like to ask the doctor what causes bedwetting in a half-asleep, half-awake state?Doctor's answer:
After the age of five, if a child wets the bed, enuresis should be considered. For children with enuresis, it is necessary to identify the cause, which can be classified as primary or secondary. The most common secondary enuresis is urinary tract infections, diabetes insipidus, spinal dysraphism, etc., and medical examinations are required for these conditions. After ruling out secondary factors, primary enuresis should be considered. It is necessary to gradually train the child to extend the time between urinations as much as possible, remind the child to get up and urinate at night, and as the child grows older, the enuresis condition will improve to a certain extent.
