Question
What are the causes of bedwetting in children?
Answer
Bedwetting in children is a common clinical phenomenon. Some children even outgrow it before they reach their 20s. Through systematic follow-up surveys, foreign experts have found that children who wet the bed later have an average IQ lower than that of normal children and slower physical development. As they grow up, they tend to be shorter and lighter than the average person. They are prone to various physiological problems, such as those related to the urinary and reproductive systems. Most of them also have certain psychological barriers, such as feelings of inferiority, guilt, timidity, and tension. Parents should not underestimate bedwetting in children, as some parents cannot deal with their child’s bedwetting properly and often scold their children, which can harm their child’s self-confidence and increase their psychological burden, thereby exacerbating the bedwetting. The correct approach is to help children analyze the cause and find ways to overcome it.
