Question
Young children in kindergartens often experience bedwetting during naptime. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Bedwetting in children is a common phenomenon, and its causes may include delayed development of the cerebral cortex, leading to the inability to inhibit the spinal cord’s urinary center. During sleep, the detrusor muscle may contract uncontrollably, resulting in urine excretion. If children are overly excited or tired during the day, their nighttime sleep may become too deep, causing them to not wake up in time when the bladder swells. It is recommended that parents pay attention to their children’s daily activities and seek advice from professional doctors to ensure their healthy growth.
