Patient's question:
Male, 14 years old, enuresis at night, initially many times, now about once per night if not called back, around 1 a.m. (about 3 hours after falling asleep) (has undergone routine urine tests, X-rays show congenital sacral fissure, previously took traditional Chinese medicine, received acupuncture, had a period of nocturnal self-awakening or not sleeping) Concerns: Is enuresis definitely caused by a sacral fissure? Does this have primary enuresis? If there is a generational hereditary history in the family, is the main factor generational heredity? How should it be trained and treated?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis refers to nocturnal urinary incontinence in girls aged 5 and older and boys aged 6 and older. This condition rarely persists into adulthood but can recur in adults with sleep apnea syndrome. In terms of medication, anticholinergic drugs may be effective. It is advisable to consume cooling and diuretic foods; low-sugar foods; and foods rich in moisture. The harm of enuresis in children is significant. Once a parent notices their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care issues. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to nourish the body in daily life, with the hope that the child can receive professional treatment and recover!
