Patient's question:
When she was about two years old, my mother-in-law said she needed to be properly guided to use the toilet and not to wear diapers all day, walking around. The guidance was done, but later, when she wore diapers at night, she went to the toilet, and when she didn't wear them, she wet the bed. Could you please advise on what to do since she has been wetting the bed for two years? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If a four-year-old child has symptoms of bedwetting, it is usually necessary to frequently wet the bed to check for the presence of congenital spinal cord injury. You can go to the hospital to make an X-ray of the spine to determine if there are vertebrae. If congenital spinal cord injury is ruled out, then at this time you must stop using diapers, and you cannot rely on diapers. Treatment can be done through oral traditional Chinese medicine.To avoid the baby from wetting the bed at night, one way is to avoid drinking too many drinks before going to bed. The second is to remind him to use the toilet before going to sleep. The third is to eliminate the baby's psychological stress; the fourth is to find out the rules for the baby wetting the bed.
