Question
When she was about two years old, her grandmother suggested introducing her to the toilet instead of relying on diapers. However, even after the guidance, not wearing a diaper at night still led to bedwetting. How should one handle this persistent bedwetting problem over the past two years?
Answer
If a four-year-old child exhibits bedwetting, it is usually necessary to frequently check for congenital spinal defects. One can go to the hospital to have a sacrum bone examination to confirm whether there are any spinal issues. If congenital spinal defects are ruled out, then it is necessary to stop using diapers and no longer rely on them. Oral medications can be used for treatment. To prevent bedwetting during the night, one can avoid excessive drinking before bedtime, remind the child to urinate in the toilet before bedtime, relieve psychological stress, and identify the patterns of bedwetting.
