Patient's question:
My child is 6 years old this year and will soon start first grade in primary school, but there is still some bedwetting. Most children of the same age are basically not bedwetters anymore, but my child is still like this. I would like to ask what medicine should be given to children who wet the bed?Doctor's answer:
Children over the age of 5 who still frequently wet the bed are considered to have enuresis, which is an abnormal condition. Most cases are caused by incomplete development of cerebral cortex function, excessive deep sleep during the day, excessive physical activity during the day, or drinking a large amount of water before going to bed at night. The child should be taken to the hospital for timely examination, and appropriate use of antidiuretic hormone medication can be considered for treatment. Additionally, it is important to cultivate the habit of urinating on time in the child, and parents should wake the child up at the appropriate time at night for urination.
