Patient's question:
My daughter is five years old. She sleeps very soundly in the afternoon, and she doesn't wake up even when she needs to urinate. She also frequently wets the bed. I have discussed this issue with her, and she says she simply can't get up and is also unaware that she has wet the bed.The help I am seeking: What are the treatment methods for pediatric enuresis?
Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric enuresis, Chinese medicine follows the principle of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the brain, with appropriate medication often yielding excellent results. I have three formulas that have been effective every time they are used, hoping to alleviate both physical and mental suffering for the enuretic children and their parents.Formula 1: Astragalus 15g, Euonymus alatus 15g, Codonopsis 20g, Atractylodes macrocephala 10g, Rosae Rugosae Fructus 10g, Alisma orientale 10g, and Polygala 10g.
Preparation and Dosage: Decoction, once daily, divided into two doses.
Formula 2: Euonymus and Alisma orientale in equal amounts. Grind into a fine powder, mix with Chinese yam powder to form pills.
Dosage: 12g–18g daily, divided into two doses.
Formula 3: White ginkgo leaves in sufficient quantity, Alisma orientale 6g, and one egg.
Preparation and Dosage: Grind the herbs into a fine powder, make a small hole in the egg, fill it with the powder, and cook. Consume two eggs daily, in two doses.
