Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 and a half years old. She didn't have bedwetting after she was three, but in the past year, as she is about to start primary school, we enrolled her in tutoring classes, and she has been under a lot of pressure. Recently, she has started having bedwetting again. How can pediatric enuresis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Enuresis in children is a common clinical diagnosis. Generally, children over the age of five who exhibit daytime or nighttime enuresis should be brought in for attention and timely follow-up. Enuresis is typically divided into primary enuresis and secondary enuresis. Common causes of primary enuresis include: intergenerational inheritance, psychological factors, small bladder capacity or excessive residual urine, changes in nighttime antidiuretic hormone excretion, and abnormal function of the nerves controlling urination. Secondary enuresis is commonly associated with urinary tract infections, diabetes, epilepsy, or central nervous system inflammatory lesions.
