Patient's question:
Dr. Zou, hello: My son is 2 years old. He was born prematurely with high jaundice, cerebral edema, and other high-risk factors. We visited your expert outpatient clinic when he was 9 months and 14 months old. However, in recent months, he often urinates while standing and frequently wets his pants. Is there any treatment available?Doctor's answer:
Mom needs to teach the baby slowly, and don't get angry even if they wet themselves. This isn't a disease; it's just that the baby sometimes plays and urinates directly when they have the urge. Parents should know that as the baby's bladder capacity increases and bowel movements decrease, their ability to control urination and defecation will gradually improve. Generally speaking, girls learn to control their bowels and bladder earlier than boys, but there are exceptions. Most children learn to control their bowels and bladder between the ages of 2 and 3. When should you start training the baby to use the potty? It depends on the situation and shouldn't be done blindly.
