Question
Children over three years old often experience bedwetting at night, and it is difficult to successfully wake them up to urinate. Some doctors suggest using diuretic hormones and other medications for treatment. In this situation, is hormonal treatment effective?
Answer
For bedwetting in young children, the main approach should be educational rather than the early use of medication. It is important to help children establish good urinary habits, maintain a regular lifestyle, take appropriate rest during the day, avoid spicy and irritating foods, reduce fluid intake after 6 PM, and encourage the child. Parents should show patience and care, avoiding scolding or hitting. Consider combining massage, physical therapy, and massage techniques, and use traditional Chinese medicine for adjustment in the early stages. Try to prevent the child from becoming dependent on pull-ups to help improve bedwetting.
