Patient's question:
My little treasure is five years old now! Since she was three, she hasn't used diapers anymore. At first, there was a bit of bedwetting. But I thought it was okay because she's still young. Although she's getting older, she still wets the bed. I wonder what could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
A 5-year-old child who still wets the bed occasionally is not a serious issue. As the child grows older, the frequency of bedwetting will gradually decrease or even disappear. However, if a 5-year-old continues to wet the bed without effective relief measures, it is advisable to take the child to a local hospital for further examination. X-ray of the spine can determine whether the child has spina bifida.
