Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation should be due to insufficient awareness of the urge to urinate or insufficient control over urination. It can be improved through training to enhance the child's awareness of the urge to urinate and strengthen their control. Whenever the child feels the urge, they should be given enough attention to independently urinate. Some parents are overly "affectionate" towards their children, even unwilling to wake them up for nighttime urination, allowing them to urinate while half-asleep. Over time, this can lead to poor habits where the child urinates wherever and whenever they please, regardless of suitability. This is not advisable. The correct approach is to immediately wake up and go to the bathroom whenever the urge arises. Additionally, from a TCM perspective, this falls under the category of kidney deficiency, and herbal medicine can be used for regulation if necessary.
