What is bedwetting in children?

Patient's question:

My child is five years old this year. According to common sense, she should no longer wet the bed, or even if she does, the frequency should decrease. However, her friend's child wets the bed frequently. I would like to ask, is bedwetting a disease in children?

Doctor's answer:

Bedwetting in children is a common occurrence. For example, drinking too much water before bed or being too tired during the day can lead to bedwetting at night. Additionally, sudden changes in the living environment may also cause bedwetting. It could also be a condition called enuresis. If a child is over six years old and still wetting the bed both day and night, it is necessary to take them for a checkup.
