Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 and a half years old. She didn't wet the bed 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 a habit of wetting the bed again. How can bedwetting in children 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: generational 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 often associated with urinary tract infections, diabetes, epilepsy, or central nervous system occupying inflammation.
