Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. He wets the bed almost every day. He doesn't wake up when called at night and is drowsy. His penis is very small, and he urinates in small amounts each time. The frequency is short and urgent. We have had a urine test, and the results were normal. He was given Shuquan Wan, but it hasn't helped. I really don't know what to do. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bedwetting, also known as enuresis, refers to the inability of a child to control urination after falling asleep, resulting in unconscious bedwetting. Habitual enuresis can weaken the child, interfere with physical health and intellectual development, and frequent bedwetting can also bring to the family. If it is caused by a medical condition, the condition should be treated first. Reduce the amount of salt in dinner, limit water and soup intake. Prevent children from becoming overly excited before taking a nap, and develop the habit of emptying their bladder before getting into bed before taking a nap. Special training for daytime urinary retention can also be an effective method. Whenever the urge to urinate arises, actively control and delay urination for a few minutes at first, gradually increasing the duration over time.
