Question

A four-year-old girl has already used the toilet before bedtime and has not consumed excessive amounts of fluids, yet she still frequently wets the bed. What might be the reasons for this situation? Should one be concerned about the child’s physical health issues?

Answer

Bedwetting in four-year-old children is primarily considered a lack of well-established urinary habits. It is recommended that parents guide their children to urinate at appropriate times each evening to gradually cultivate their urinary habits and observe if there is any improvement in symptoms. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to conduct urine tests and other relevant examinations to confirm whether there are any abnormalities. Additionally, it is suggested to avoid allowing children to consume excessive fluids before going to bed at night and to encourage them to develop the habit of getting up to urinate.
