Patient's question:
My young niece always wets the bed when she sleeps. At night, when she falls asleep, she unconsciously urinates. Even when I call her to go to the bathroom, she doesn't wake up. However, once it's late at night, she will urinate on her own, and her bed will be wet in several places. What methods can be used to treat bedwetting in children?Doctor's answer:
Usually, bedwetting in children over 5 years old, occurring 1 to 3 times a month on average, can be considered enuresis. Enuresis is a comprehensive condition that requires psychological counseling and medication treatment. If a child experiences enuresis, parents should provide reasonable guidance and avoid scolding the child. Two hours before bedtime, avoid fluid intake, and remind the child to urinate before going to sleep. Once at night, wake the child up once to urinate. For medication treatment, traditional Chinese medicine regulation can be chosen.
