Did the baby suddenly wet the bed because they were scared?

Patient's question:

The baby is already 3 years old. If he has urine during the day, he will go to the toilet by himself. Then, if he has urine at night, he will wake me up to take him to the toilet. He hasn't wet the bed for a long time, but today something was very strange. The baby suddenly wet the bed. I want to ask if the baby suddenly wet the bed because he was startled?

Doctor's answer:

After being startled, a child's mental state may change, the excitability of the cerebral cortex may be affected, and there may be bedwetting. However, bedwetting caused by being startled may not last for a long time and may not recur repeatedly. Moreover, children of this age have not yet formed proper urination and defecation habits and need to be gradually trained.
