Patient's question:
The doctor wants to consult with you about what to do about bedwetting in children. I’ve recently noticed he’s been wetting the bed every night—the sheets look like a world map every morning. But my child is already 5 years old, and I know that at this age, children have self-esteem, so I haven’t dared to say anything yet.Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting in children is relatively normal, but if it occurs frequently, it's advisable to take the child to the hospital for a check-up. It's important to cultivate good sleep habits in the child and avoid giving them excessive water or milk before their nap, as this can also lead to bedwetting. Parents should regularly remind the child that if they need to urinate during the night, they should go to the bathroom. Over time, the child will gradually correct the behavior.
