Patient's question:
My son is 10 years old and still wets the bed at night. This happens about three or four times a month. I don't know what to do. He's so old and still wetting the bed. I've tried many folk remedies, but I'm wondering what can be done for a 10-year-old who wets the bed?Doctor's answer:
So, a child of this age should be able to control themselves and urinate independently. If bedwetting still occurs, the first consideration should be whether external lifestyle habits haven't been properly developed. First, it's necessary to train the child to wake up and urinate by themselves if they need to during the night. During the day, develop a urination routine, and have a fixed urination before bed. Avoid drinking water before bed. If the lifestyle has been improved but the situation still persists, then it should be considered whether pathological factors are affecting it, and a specific medical examination is needed to identify the issue.
