Patient's question:
My baby is now three years old and still urinates in bed, but doesn't wet the bed. My friend said that moxibustion can be used for treatment. What are the side effects of moxibustion for bedwetting in children?Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting is a symptom, and the recurrence of bedwetting in a child cannot prove it is pathological. Most cases are caused by habits. It requires gradual implementation of training, and it may also be related to generational inheritance. Cold in the kidney yin can also cause bedwetting. Acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine generally have few side effects. However, if the acupoints are not chosen correctly or the treatment duration is too long, it is not effective. Some frail constitutions may not tolerate it, or there is a risk of accidentally burning the skin.
