Question
What are the reasons for bedwetting in children? What are the treatment methods? The patient’s condition is as follows: Starting from the age of six, the child has been deeply asleep at night, unable to wake up to urinate, leading to bedwetting. Sometimes similar situations occur during the day as well. The medical history shows that this symptom appeared since the age of six.
Answer
Bedwetting in children, medically referred to as frequent urination or urgency, is a condition characterized by increased frequency of urination with a sense of urgency but no pain. Treatment suggestions include paying attention to waking up the child at night for urination, forming a regular habit, and controlling fluid intake before bedtime. If the situation does not improve, acupuncture therapy can be considered. For children under 2 years old who exhibit this symptom, it may not necessarily be pathological. Parents should avoid letting children consume liquid foods before bedtime, reduce fluid intake, and keep track of their child’s urination schedule.
