Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing nocturnal enuresis, with parents reporting that even after reminding the child to get up at night to use the bathroom, the child still wets the bed in his sleep. How should bedwetting in children be handled?
Answer
The occurrence of enuresis in four-year-old children may be related to delayed development of the urinary center nervous system or malnutrition, particularly a lack of vitamins and trace elements. It is advised that parents avoid scolding the child and should provide positive education. Additionally, it is recommended to have the child undergo blood routine and trace element tests to promptly supplement any lacking nutrients. Furthermore, it is important to reduce fluid intake before bedtime, avoid holding urine, and limit the consumption of snacks.
