Question
Doctor, hello. My child is 8 years old and still wets the bed, which makes me very puzzled. He says he can’t control it himself, so I took him to get checked, and the result was that it was caused by spina bifida. I want to ask if bedwetting caused by spina bifida can be cured?
Answer
If there is a spinal issue, bedwetting caused by neurological factors is more difficult to treat. If treatment is needed, it is recommended that you go to a well-equipped professional hospital for consultation to determine if the condition can be corrected through surgery. If surgery is not possible, healing becomes more difficult. For the bedwetting issue, control fluid intake before bedtime to avoid excessive drinking. Additionally, wake the child up at night to urinate promptly.
