Patient's question:
Our baby is 5 years old, and he still has the issue of bedwetting. He has long understood that he needs to go to the toilet to use the bathroom and that urinating in bed is wrong, but he still frequently wets the bed. Is it normal for a 5-year-old to wet the bed? His intellectual development and the like are all quite normal.Doctor's answer:
A 5-year-old child who still wets the bed is somewhat abnormal, as most normal children usually stop wetting the bed after the age of 4. If a child wets the bed, lifestyle adjustments can be made first. Avoid letting the child play too hard in the afternoon, and also limit fluid intake in the evening to reduce the chances of bedwetting. Help the child build confidence in overcoming bedwetting. If necessary, medical examinations can be conducted at the hospital.
