Question
My son is almost 6 years old, and he often has bedwetting at night, about twice a week. When I call him to urinate at night, he often can’t hear me, and he sleeps very deeply. I am very distressed.
Answer
Clinical manifestations of enuresis: mild cases may have 1-3 episodes of enuresis per week, while severe cases may have enuresis once or even several times per night. It is recommended to take your child to a hospital for a consultation. Relevant examinations include urine routine tests, urological system ultrasound, X-ray imaging of the spine, and some children may need to undergo an electroencephalogram. In daily life, it is important to develop the habit of waking up at regular intervals to urinate at night. Try not to drink water before going to bed in the evening. Behavioral training can be carried out, including relaxation, habit cultivation, and attention redirection, to improve enuresis symptoms.
