Patient's question:
The little girl is almost three years old, but she still cannot control her urination. When asked if she needs to urinate, she always shakes her head and says she doesn't need to, but she can't tell when she ends up wetting her pants. Some people say it's bedwetting and it will improve on its own without treatment as she grows older. Seeking expert advice: Does bedwetting in children resolve on its own?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis in children primarily refers to the phenomenon of nocturnal enuresis occurring in children aged 5 and older. Currently, your baby is still under 3 years old, so it cannot be strictly diagnosed as enuresis. Moreover, there are many reasons that can cause enuresis in children, and it is necessary to identify which type the child belongs to. These include genetic factors, small bladder capacity, and factors related to detrusor hyperactivity, among others. Most children can outgrow enuresis as they grow older, while a small number may continue to experience it into adulthood.
