How is enuresis treated in children?

Patient's question:

My child is three years old and is a little princess. Hmm, other children at this age no longer need adults to help them use the toilet, but my child still can't. Hmm, it's just that she has a little urine leakage when urinating. Upon careful examination, I found that she has nocturnal enuresis. How should nocturnal enuresis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It is normal for a child aged three to wet the bed. Common reasons for bedwetting include delayed development of the cerebral cortex, inability to inhibit the spinal cord's urination center, and involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle during deep sleep, which leads to urination. If a child is overly excited or overly active during the day, they may enter a too deep state of sleep at night, making it difficult for them to wake up immediately when the bladder becomes full.
