Patient's question:
Female, 5 years old, has been found to have enuresis. How is the best way to treat it? I hope the doctor can explain it to me.Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting refers to the phenomenon where children aged 5 or older cannot control their urination, often wetting the bed at night and sometimes wetting their pants during the day. It is closely related to diet. After meals, it is advisable to consume less sweet foods and high-protein drinks, and avoid excessive salt to prevent thirst. In the evening, drink less water, beverages, milk, and eat a small amount of fruit. At the same time, parents should encourage their children and remind them to get up at night to urinate. Never punish or blame your child for bedwetting.
